Hello all, I tend to be a little transient on this website, but I've been catching up a little bit on what's happened in the few months I've been away. I've been trying to keep reactions to a minimum so as not to spam everyone.
I'm very saddened to read of the losses many experienced these last few months. I'm just a stranger on the internet, and I feel that these digital words are wholly inadequate to describe how I feel, but this thread and the peoples and animals on it are important to me. My heart goes out to all of you who've recently lost those dear to you.
I'm also quite excited to learn about recent developments, namely the potential for the field chickens to have a rooster again.
Sappy stuff aside, a lot of the research, information, and discussion here has been very helpful to me and my long term plans, which is a big part of why this thread is my favorite on BYC. Despite my extensive experience with chickens, I rarely feel I have much of substance to add here. However, I do feel like I've had some meaningful insights recently, which I can share whenever relevant
