Why don’t my threads get answered?

[azurbanclucker]

Fair enough, I didn’t think of that. I just saw that other threads newer than mine were getting replies, and wondering if I was doing something wrong. I get anxious very easily. I hope I didn’t sound like I was guilt-tripping or looking for sympathy, I know I’m not good at communicating or reading tone online or IRL. Thank you very much for replying, too!

First off, Welcome!

Second off, As said above, Don't panic! We have a wide variety of experience here and the "easy" questions tend to get picked up the fastest because the knowledge pool for them is deeper. When it gets into specifics or some more exotic breeds, the knowledge pool is not as deep and it may take an experienced member a day or 2 to find it and answer. it can certainly be frustrating and disheartening at times, but it is not something that YOU did or did not do. It's just the ebb and flow of discussions here on BYC. Don't let your anxiety win in this case, it's totally not you.

I'm glad you got your answer at least.

Yeah, people don't get paid to answer posts, and lots of folks have outside jobs plus farm work to do.
