99 people on TEG just now. 83 were guests. This place is really hopping! Don't think I've ever seen that many before. Wonder what everybody is searching? Hope some will stop long enough to say hello.
So how long did you Lurk before joining @baymule ? I do not think I lurked. @SweetMissDaisy asked me to check you all out from another blog and I just jumped right in.
I love those lurkers, but I was not one. I joined while BYC was down for up-dates. I jumped in to assuage my boredom without BYC. This is so much better! I seldom get to BYC anymore.
Of course, the garden has always interested me more than the chickens.
I probably lurked several months. I am a BYC transplant too. I love my chickens, but I can get my chicken fix here in Gardening With Animals. I lurked on BYC for months, reading all the predator and coop building forums. That's how I figured out to build Fort Knox For Chickens.
