Glad you're enjoying your birds! In addition to all the chicken chatter on BYC, there are a lot of gardeners you may enjoy "meeting". Click on this link to take you to the gardening forum: gardening.16176
Hi! Nice to meet another older bird keeper, smitten is a good term. I have been captivated by birds since my first parrot in 1976. Those of us who are owned by birds need to commiserate with each other!
Thank you to everyone who wrote and welcomed me. This forum is wonderful. I will update my data with my location and a photo. I did post a question: I believe the link goes something like: Forums -> Raising Backyard Chickens -> Chicken Behaviors and Egg Laying -> One year old stopped laying.
I have had some excellent input and insight already today !! So relieved to have folks I can turn to. And so much valuable information.
