Hi and welcome to our community. I wish you the best of luck with your new property and related projects.

This is a useful link of BYC guides to take a look at announcements-feedback-issues-guides.3 I’d suggest including your location using the guide in that link. You can use this link to contact members in your area - Find your State's thread.

Best wishes

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?

Yes, last week.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?

5, hopefully one starts to crow in a few weeks.

(3) What breeds do you have?

It took a lot of thought, but I finally settled on buff orpingtons

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?

I don't know yet, but so far baby chicks are more entertaining than tv.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?

We finally bought a house, so now all of my free time is spent trying to learn about homesteading. My eventual goal is to be at least 80% self sustainable.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.

I'm a stay at home mom

(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?

I've spent hours researching chickens thus far, and this community has been the biggest source of information I've found.
