Hello everyone! My name is Jessica...I'm new to BYC!

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Yes, I am new to chickens! It has been a dream for over 10 years, and It's finally going to be a reality! I am expecting to have chicks by mid April!!!!


(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I was originally planning on 3, but have been thinking 4 or 5 lately...shhhh, don't tell my hubby...the plan is to just show up with a few extras!

(3) What breeds do you have?
We have decided on Orpingtons!


(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
Everyone who I have spoken to about raising chickens has told me to join this forum, so here I am!


(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I love being in my garden, camping, hiking, and just being outside in the fresh air!

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I am married and we have 2 crazy boys, an even crazier cat, and 2 wonderful dogs...we live in beautiful Oceanside, CA and enjoy spending time in our yard or at the beach!


I have even started a new Instagram account that will be dedicated to my chicks...I know, I'm a little crazy!

So excited to get my chicks and start this adventure!!!
 
Hello, and welcome to our wonderful forum! I am so glad you joined Backyard Chickens, I hope you will make yourself at home here and enjoy it as much as I have! :frow

Welcome!

I am excited for you that you are getting to realise your dream.

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock when they arrive, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out
