Hello everyone!
My names Myhouseisazoo2 and I found out about this site from a lovely member of the Backyard chicken community. I'm a new homeowner (recently in the last year) and am interested in being self sufficient for quite a few reasons. My biggest reason at the moment is my vivid reminder that as a nation a good majority of us are so far removed from our food (much of my younger relatives don't know what meat actually come's from!) and the alarming rate of how much is wasted.

Welcome from BC. :frow Two very good reasons to become more SS.

Thank you!
I think though it weirds my youngest sister out, she got very mad when she found out I would be culling my flock and even told me I would be torturing them by culling. But as I explained to her I know they where lovingly cared for, has free range for portions of the day (I am terrified to let them free range when I'm not home!) And that they are dispatched in a (to me) human fashion and I get to thank them before doing so!

Don't let her see what happens on commercial chicken farms ;) Welcome to SS! :frow
