Why I think BYC is the BEST

[wilds of pa]

With all this said,,one day all the sites will need to come tegeather....When the Goverment trys to take our rights away to have farm animals(rabbits,poultry, even just one horse etc)..which they will,,this will be the true time of need from all Poultry men and women...No matter what happened in the pasts. We will come togeather..Because all of our lifes will be going down the same road...

Its being worked on within the agencies and will come full circle one day....USDA, NAIS is all just the start to the end..................................................................................................

And yes BYC is the best out of them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first time I saw this site, it was a web page with some pictures of backyard chickens. And they had names! I thought, how cool, some one else names their chickens. At that time, I thought I had been alone in keeping chickens as pets. The name Backyardchickens.com stuck in my head from that day on, and I would periodically check back. And my, what this site has grown into, so many chicken lovers!! And then I finally joined too. It truly is a fun, informative, friendly, fun, oh did I mention fun, place!!

I agree with you Charlie. A few years ago, I attended a seminar on NAIS for cattle. At the time we thought it might be a good idea for our record keeping because we raise registered Limousin seedstock. But we found out that the tags that we had to use were just a button ear tag and not implanted in the animal itself. The tags were expensive and fell out all the time, so after a year, we decided to go back to the old tried and true ways. After looking into the NAIS system more, I feel it is not a good idea at all. The only reason it appealed to us in the first place was that we thought it would be a way to get the Country of Origin Labeling on our meat. I am still of the opinion that this is necessary. It would help meat producers here in the U.S. be able to market their product better. Right now, foreign beef is imported at alarming rates and sold right along side domestic beef and no one knows the difference. We know where everything else we use was produced. Why not our meat?

Sorry- it was long and off topic but an important subject none the less.

Buster you know, they should stop importing meat all togeather..

Our country should be able to provide for the poeple here..

Thats why this country is going to the dogs..Everything is made outside this country then brought here to be sold....

Darnit you cant even buy a pair of pants, shoes or shirt made here..its pretty sickening if you really think about it...

The day will come soon...we shall see it...

I am going to start another thread about this and continue there. I think this is an important subject and needs further discussion.

BYC is the best because we can joke around with friends and have a good time as well as discuss our chicken, our lives and other serious matters such as the ones mentioned above. Love this place!

I spoke to PC last night. He says hello to all his old friends and says he misses them.

Maybe one day a lavender chicken will come along, or a fushia...or magenta....​
