When chick season comes around, the baby chicks share my office. Sometimes they like to explore too much!

Ooh, I love baby chickens!!!! Looked at some at the store today actually. I might sneak home with a few one of these days and really make the wife mad.
I couldn't help but notice that you're new here! Welcome to steem :) We're very glad you're here, and I hope you can dig yourself in and get pretty well established here! You'll find there's a good group of folks here with natural medicine and sustainability on their mind. Not the least of which are @riverflows (creator of @naturalmedicine), @sagescrub (creator of @homesteaderscoop), @freedomtowrite and @freedompoint (creators of @ghscollective). They're the ones driving the sustainability bus on steem. Lots of others like @porters, @walkerland, @mountainjewel, @sustainablelivin (@mariannewest's profile for her Sustainable Living Podcast), @squishysquid, @goat-girlz, @senorcoconut, @vanessamidwife, @ppmsilver, @allyinspirit, @makinstuff, @simplymike, @craigcryptoking, @buckaroo, @papa-pepper, @pennsif, @wildhomesteading, and many many more are the ones in the community making it such a great group to be with. They're all well worth a follow.
Most communities on steem currently meet on discord, so that's a really handy app for steemians looking to get into the swing of things. It offers a simple, user-friendly messaging place where we can all talk and keep up off chain. There are hopeful developments coming for on-chain options, but those are probably a few forks away. Til then, our three main groups are Natural Medicine, Homesteaders Co-op, and Global Homesteading Collective. The NM and GHSC ones link to discord, the HSCO link is to the marketplace built by @sagescrub where we are able to buy and sell sustainably produced goods using steem, SBD, and USD as well as gift and barter economics. It's the first marketplace of it's kind, and we're all quite excited about it.
Another great tool for steem interaction is @ginabot. A splendid notification service that works through discord to let you know about steem interactions on chain. She'll let you know when you're mentioned, when people send you money, when certain folks make a post, or when posts are made with your favorite tags. Very very helpful, and I think most steemians use Gina.
One thing you'll find is that there are a lot of interfaces with the steem blockchain. There's steemit.com, busy.org, steempeak.com, partiko.app, d.tube, and many others that all boast different features and benefits. I prefer steempeak and partiko, but it's a fun learning experience to try a few for yourself, as steemit is a very basic interface that leaves much to be desired. Thats an intentional situation though, as Steemit Inc (Stinc) has bigger things to worry about.
I hope this little introduction can help you a bit. Things like this weren't being done much during the hectic time when I joined steem. With the price of steem being down (you'll find nobody cares much about that), things have calmed down as the moochers and weak hands have left. The folks you encounter here are the ones that truly desire to be here and see promise in the platform. We're here for the long haul, and we hope you find value here as well. :)
Welcome,
Nate and the whole sustainability community of steem.
Ooh, and don't forget to use all five tags! It'll help get more publicity by helping more people see your posts. As you learn, you'll find the more popular tags that are applicable to you. My personal favorite is #dailychicken. #homesteading and #ghsc are also popular tags :)

We should have some chicks arriving in a few days and currently have quail chicks growing fast. They don't behave as well as chicken chicks, however, so they aren't allowed in the office!
Welcome to Steem. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

Hey @rhiana! Great photo! What a juxtaposition :) I have heard of people pecking at the keys... lol!
I found you via @nateonsteemit. I see that you are new to steem and am giving you a small delegation from our community account @homesteaderscoop. I hope it helps you have some extra mana while you are building your new account!

Welcome to Steemit. Hope to get to now you better in our homesteading community which @nateonsteemit introduced you to in his earlier comment.
I also have chickens. All Rhode Island Reds which blend into the oak tree forest floor to reduce predation. Not sure how many at this point. They never stand still long enough to get a count :-)
