Newbie from NC

[Diana D]

Good Morning,

My husband and I bought a 40 acre farm in Western NC a couple of years ago and just this spring I bought my first chickens. 2 leghorns and 4 isa browns. I'm loving it. My husband built a chicken tractor for me (it's a little to heavy, hard to move) and I've finally got it through to our Yellow English Lab that he can't mess with the chickens when I let them out.
Thanks for letting me join. I have much to learn.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Chickens sure are fun to keep. It makes you wonder why you waited so long to get them.

Make yourself at home here and enjoy BYC!

Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

Sounds like you have a lovely flock! That's one awesome husband you've got there! My dad built my coop for me. Funny how chicken keeping can bring family together so much.

We're glad to have you and happy to welcome you into our family.
