At first I was blow away by people's attachments to the birds then a week ago I brought home my seven 1 week olds... I found myself waking up at night to check on them. Like oh my I'm gonna be the crazy chicken lady... then three days ago I went to get the ducks and started talking to the boy working in chicks that day and he told me about the injured one!

Welcome!

Great introduction and love the pictures! So cute!

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends
