Hello my name is Ryan, my wife and I with our 2 children have decided to keep 4 chickens in our suburban backyard for eggs for the family. We are all very excited and happy to have found this source for the multitude of questions we have/will have. Thanks

PS - I'll not ask why your name here is "donkeyboy" or whether your wife agrees!!

Hi :welcome Ryan

Glad you could join the flock! I'm sure you and your family will enjoy your chicken adventures. They are a great way of getting the whole family involved in a shared activity. Have you checked out the learning centre? Here is the link ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center
Lots of great articles to help you keep your flock happy, safe and healthy.

Wishing you the very best of luck and enjoy BYC :frow
 
Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. Raising chickens is a wonderful experience for children. Breeds such as Australorps, Faverolles, Orpingtons, Silkies, Sussex, Cochins, and Brahmas have a well deserved reputation for being calm and gentle; great lap pets and good breeds for children to handle. Of course there can always be an exception with any breed. If high egg production is a priority, Australorps are the best layers on this list. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Cheers.
