Oh that is awful Heather !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I for one miss you alot !!!!!!!!!
I hope you & DH & baby are all doing well and DO NOT let some rude person scare you away !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please don't go !!!

Don't go!!!! I love seeing the photos of your beautiful baby, and appreciate all your input. I'm surprised and sorry someone among us has treated you so poorly.

Your cochins are beautiful, and the light sussex has grwon all new feathers and looks quite regal.

Hey guys! I don't get on here much anymore and will probably be on here less and less. I'm selling most of my flock (keeping a few breeds to show) and pretty much leaving BYC.

I recently received a horrible, degrading and totally bizarre, downright rude e-mail from someone (from BYC) and I'm confused, hurt and feel utterly saddened by it. I won't name names but this person knows who they are.

Anyway, you guys are all awesome, I do miss talking to you all and hope to see some of you at upcoming shows!

Take care!

RFF, I don't know you but I agree with TC and others that you shouldn't give this person any pleasure by leaving.

And pettec, glad you posted something...don't tick off a redhead, LOL.

Yes my ife is busy. lol But who on here doesnt have a busy life? Everyone has something going on. Be it kids, job, farm, critters.

Yes, but most of us aren't working around half ton animals and falling over hay bales while very pregnant!

Glad you felt better today, and hope the rest of the pregnancy goes smoothly for you.

I'm glad you said something K! Heather is a great peep!!

She sounds like it. I figure if she hangs out with yall she can be to bad right?

HEHE I am just teasing. I hate when people make others feel bad. That's not what BYC is about. From what I gather its about learning and sharing the joy and love of your birds with others who feel the same. I took a few mins n went and looked at her webpage I loved her set up and the pictures of her farm on her webpage. Someday I hope to get more property and have a set up like that.

Hi all - I am in Issaquah with some backyard chickens since July. I have gotten so much great info from these forums and have just discovered this thread of locals. It is very long and reading just the last few pages it seems like you guys know each other pretty well. I wish I would have seen this one about two weeks ago when I felt totally alone after an eagle attack. Though I have found great info here and a couple of people that have been really helpful.

My chickens have a great coop and an enclosed run that is fairly small in my opinion but bigger than many suggest. We have surrounded that all with an electric fence that we put on at night and whenever we are not around. Up until recently we have let our chickens out to raom while we are home but haven't really watched them closely at all.

Well apparently we are now under attack and everyone is on lockdown because of this young eagle. i have created a chicken hospital in my garage and my chicken (about 10 months old) has come back from deaths door (or so I thought) and she is doing great - has actually laid two eggs after 15 days "in hospital." She has a long way to go until her wounds are healed and she can return to her "flock" (five total lol) but she so wants to be with them but they peck her if we let her hang out with them at all. I am having a custom chicken coat made in hopes she can hang with them again soon hahahaha.

I have 2 acres but they only really roam on less than one of them - what are people doing around here about birds of prey?? is there a season? Previously we had let them roam about from about 12 until 3 or 4 every day unsupervised and they loved it. Will we ever be able to do that again?

I will subscribe to this forum by daily digest to look for answers but it does seem pretty busy so if you have any thoughts for me feel free to ask for my e-mail and we can chat that way if needed. Obviously I am new here so don't really know how this works.

Thanks so much!! Carla

Glad you joined. Stick around and you will learn a lot. I just joined about 3 weeks ago and everyone here has been so nice and helpful. I am sorry about your girl. I hope she makes a quick recovery. I found one of my girls dead just this morning.

. I never had a problem with birds of pray so I am sorry I cant be much help, but I am sure someone will be able to give you some advice.
