Okay, that was a terrible edit of a popular phrase, but hopefully it got your attention.

Short Story:
In addition to BYC's sister site www.TheEasyGarden.com we've now added 2 new sites to the family:
www.BackYardCows.com and www.SufficientSelf.com.

Long Story:

On April Fool's 2007 I posted that I was opening www.BackYardCows.com. It was meant to be a huge joke, but then we started to see posts and PM's and emails from people saying how excited they were to see it start up. Well after about 7 months of putting it off (during the BYC busy season) we finally got a breather and started up the BYCows forum.

Also, over the past 19 months there have been a lot of threads about self sufficient living. Many people requested a section on BYC about the subject, but just like TEG, this is too grand of a topic to limit to a few sections on a chicken site (no offense to BYC). Since we were already building BYCows we decided to go ahead (since we were already in "make new forum mode") to create www.SufficientSelf.com.

With the help of a TON of great BETA testers we've received some excellent feedback on both forums and have created the first categories and sections of the new sites.

Remember, the goal is to have a bunch of topical sites that are complimentary with the same friendly and helpful atmosphere that we've come to love and respect about BYC. This is a great opportunity for BYC to show her little sisters how it is done and I don't expect that any of the three will let her down!
