This will be fun

[LarsBraun]

Howdy,
Just moved from ILL-ANNOY to Strasburg, Colorado on 15 acres.
My main goal is to raise chickens for food, human consumption and for our 2 German Shepherds.
I will also start a red worm "farm" and meal worm "farm" for the chickens.
During this winter months I will be gleaning all of the archived posts and sponge up
as much as I can.
Looking forward to reading your posts and perhaps meeting some of you.

We only feed them raw food and they like chicken

Hi and welcome to BYC , are you going to get any other birds or animals. Your dogs are beautiful

I got my pullets from a guy named Jason in Strasburg with an organic chicken farm. I'm not sure if you've had chickens in the past, but he is a wealth of information. I will try and find his contact for you. I'm sure he wouldn't mind a visit if you want to check out his place and setup. He mixes and sells awesome feed as well.

G’Day from down under LarsBraun Welcome!

Willow and Hunter are beautiful!

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

Personally, I have found the Topic of the Week articles a great resource and a one stop shop for questions which may have already been discussed within the BYC membership group.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock when they arrive, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out
