I have been reading through the forums here and even though I have just scratched the surface I think my head is going to explode with information overload. There is just so much to read here I will need 5 life times at least I think I will need to pace myself from here on.

I must thank you for the forum its easy to see why its so popular and so loved by many.

I know what you mean Kath my first port of call was APF when I got right into them and decided to google them and all the results where APF so that was an omen telling me to join

Enjoy this one of a kind info volt like the rest of the world does and yes pace yourself I would hate to think of your head exploding :lol:

When I joined I decided to focus on the areas most interesting for me and that helped limit frying my brain with to much info all at once and its not possible to read it all as new stuff comes on every second.

Good advice CP a little study every day is the way to go I think as others have pointed out the forum is the biggest poultry recourse on the planet so it can be overwhelming for some but a little each day will keep you sane

Happens to many new members as there's so much to read and see and be apart of here.

Its one reason why we are the clear world favorite poultry forum

I think some come from the small ones first so its not so frightening for them

Its nice having local information here as well! I often used to get caught up with US sites & whilst they were good they have different supplies & such so can be impractical at times.

Thats a good point Sally and I think a few did join the only other big poultry forum called BYC not knowing its American but Nifty has done some good there since he purchased it but its still 100% american and yes much/most info not applicable to other parts of the world like Aust, NZ, UK ect... still not a worry APF is the equal or much bigger to the american site so we look after the rest of the world and do it very well.

When I searched google for poultry back years ago the first 6 results were 4 APF and 2 BYC I looked at byc but yes I knew it was a foreign site so did not join and joined APF of course. Best decision of my life than657
