I am a new member here on the BYC , and have lurked reading everything I could. I have learned alot about yogurt , fencing needed for the coop and run, size of house needed for "x" number of chickens, and the difference in alot of breeds.
Now , I have dived in the deep end of the pool by bidding on a incubator! I have my plans for my house and run ,along with a order in for some meat birds.
That my friends is not all! Thanks to the ladies and their awesome leader MissPrissy from the yogurt forum I broke down and asked my DH for some goats. ( I know he wont let me have a cow) All the talk about goats milk and how good it is did me in. I had been wanting some for awhile and decided to just go ahead and ask for them.
My children...( 2 youngest) want to start raising show hens. I'm not sure about letting them untill I learn more about it.I don't like to start something unless I know what is expected and I'm going about it in the right way. Same thing applies with the goats, will learn alot more about care and raising them before I buy any. (if DH gives the go ahead)
I am going to be reading up on hatching eggs for the next couple days on here. I will buy some books this weekend to. Lord knows I'm Barnes & Nobles best customer. ( I read ALOT)
I would just like to say Thank You for being here and sharing your ups and downs , success and little mistakes...( no one fails just makes mistakes) and plain old good advice. I was terrified of begining this adventure into the life my family and I want to start but you have shown me there is nothing to fear but alot to be learned to make a successful go at it.
I just have one thing more to say to all the new members of the BYC , that you have found a wonderful place to be but guard your heart because they have already got mine.
Thanks for listening and your advice is always welcome.
( Not sure if this belongs here so if you would Mod's please move and let me know where to post next time. Thank you. )
