patsylabrador Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Just wanted to say cheers. I am a natural born worrier and have fretted through my first few months of chicken keeping. I have been able to resolve all sorts of issues and been prepared for others by looking at the advice and comments on this forum. I'm even starting to relax and enjoy taking on these crazy little critters. I shall raise a glass or two of wine to you all tonight - and subsequent nights.

suebee Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 It's quite an emotional thing, reading everyone's replies. We're all of the same mind, it seems.

chelsea Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 What a great thread. Not only are the people on here a great source of information, you are also so supportive and caring - I've had some wonderful messages and PM's and special thoughts from fellow Omleteers on here and those Omleteers on Facebook during my recent loss of Bracken - even more so than from my own friends and colleagues! And that really meant a lot to me - so thankyou!! I also think it goes to show that special chicken owners are special people too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
