Not sure if anyone remembers me... in case you don't know, I was that girl who was on here back in the dark ages known as 2009 disappeared for a couple of years, came back a few months ago, and then left again. I just wanted to pop in and see how everyone is. I started my new school, and I'm...
Here are some poems about chickens- and the impact they have on one's life (or at least my life)- that I thought you all might like:
"Chickadee"
Eggs are in the incubator,
Temperature 100 exact.
I can't believe there's life in there
When there is in fact.
For three weeks straight it's...
Hi, you guys.
Seeing as I just returned to BYC two days ago after a 3.5-year leave, I wanted to see some of my old threads again from before I left. I was reading some of the things I posted, and now now I have to ask:
a) Do you guys have, like, your own language, and I just forgot about...
Hi, you guys. I don't know if anyone remembers me. I disappeared from BYC around three and a half years ago, and I haven't even gone on here since, until today. You have no idea how much I've missed you all. I saw the web address for BYC in my sidebar a few days ago and I just knew I had to come...
Tomorrow I have an audition for a musical! We have all been waiting for this since the last one ended. I can't believe the 30th is almost here!
Now, I was originally going to sign up for the 28th, but 50 people got to the sign-ups before me, therefore I had to sign up for Thursday. The play is...
My 15 week old "hens" have been doing great. Today, though, I noticed the RSL's comb is bigger compared to the Cochin's. "She" also has a waddle growing. Not big like a grown chicken's though. The Cochin has a tiny flab, but no real waddle.
Does this mean "Henryetta" is indeed "Henry"?
A few days ago, when I saw a contest for a "pet-look alike", I decided I wanted a black chicken. Buying it as a chick sounded way too complicated, so I decided to hatch a few eggs. I was thinking maybe 3-5 eggs. I can take up to about 5 chickens. I have two already.
How many eggs should I hatch...
Well, today I was reading one of my favorite magazines. I haven't read it in a year. I was looking at the contest they always do. They said their next contest was for a "pet look-alike." My hair is black, so I thought...."if only I had a black chicken...."
"Yea, if we kept Blackie..." my mom...
This is a list of all the smilies I would like to be added to BYC:

A smiley for each season
The 'devil banana' smiley
An 'angel' smiley

Thank you for listening.
Post your smiley wish list, together we can make up a wish list and send it to...
This is a funny YouTube video that I found. It's a parody of "Fifteen". There is one curse at the end.
Enjoy! The characters remind me of people I know.
Welcome to A Day At Nifty's-Role Play!
This is a thread where we role play that BYC is Nifty's house. Forums are "floors", sub-forums are "sections", and threads are "rooms".
Someone will have to play "King Nifty." I will be "Queen Terrie", and we will need 5 "moderators".
To start a...
One of my chicks, every time I hold him/her, he/she peeps loudly and kicks, once scratching me. The other chicken is calm if you pick her up (I'm near sure it's a her.) Why doesn't this chick like being held? Is that a sign it's a rooster?
I heard that if you keep a roo in a dark box (big, with air-venting holes) He won't crow until you take him out of the box. I could take him out once a day but make sure he keeps quiet.
Is this true?

WHY am I on BYC chatting about who-knows-what, when I just got back from a chatroom party, at 12 in the morning, when I SHOULD be in BED?
I need some water...
I have a chick who I think is a rooster. I've been thinking about getting him caponized. My question is, do caponized roosters still crow? If they do, are theu loud still?
Also, do you know of anyone that can caponize a rooster near here?
I'm sorry, I just had to stop the forum for my silly complaints.
As most of you know, my mother has Grade 2 cancer in her brain. Her memory was completely blacked out from about May to February. She couldn't remember anything with a number in it-like Social Security numbers, phone numbers, and...
It's been raining since yesterday, and we're in the lowest temperatures since June 9th!!!! It feels like December over here. I cheered up by pretending it was snow. It feels like it WAS snow- I even saw something white fall. We probably will see real snow in about a month if this keeps up. And...
