Hello there and welcome to BYC!

So glad you could join our community!

Ahh....a CNC Machinist! I used to do that stuff for an Aero Space compression and injection molding plant. They then sent me to trade school to learn about Inspection and was lead inspector for many years. Wow, lots to know about close tolerance inspection! Ha!

Great to have you aboard and we do welcome you to our flock!

Hi Walt & Cindy

Glad you could join the flock! My son is thinking about becoming a gunsmith when he leaves school. He is not quite sure yet but does love his shooting right now. Not too many opportunities to become one over here in the UK so he needs to decide pretty soon so arrangements can be made for him.

Great breeds you have there and you sure must be busy with your dogs too. Good luck with goat barn, it sounds great. I would love a couple of giants but right now I just don't have the room. Fingers crossed for the future though.

Enjoy your time here on BYC

Thanks for all the hello's, we appreciate it!!

Been scared to let our girls out of the coop/run, but last night and this evening, let them out. They were all good girls and had a great time checking out the yard and eating bugs, when it was bed time, they all went back no problem. Thought I'd share some pictures.

wdp67 I did the same things with my chickens and they only want to eat bugs to! Good luck with your flock and I love the pics! Keep posting more updates.
