Hello,

I am brand new to asking questions online. So, I am an idiot for internet terms… is this considered a blog? A forum? A site? A chat room? You get the idea. So, on to my introduction… Over the last 20 years I have had a few chickens. Nothing extreme, the most I had at one point in time was only 4. I have 3 buff Orpingtons right now. Their names are Drake, Avon and Slythe. They are 10 weeks old this Saturday. We hatched them at home. My Autistic son has been fascinated with hatching chicks for years. I’m excited to be able to ask question and maybe get the RIGHT answers from people who actually have chickens!

Welcome to BYC! Thanks for joining us.
This is a poultry forum site. The main idea of this site is to ask questions and get answers about poultry, but it's also a place to chat and have fun with likeminded people.

Thanks for joining! Welcome from south Texas! Your Orps are very pretty!

I don't do any "social media" except this site so I understand your question. You can "like" comments and pictures, post comments and pictures, ask questions, start your own threads etc. Browse the forums for all kinds of categories.

I will say BYC is a "family friendly" forum, full of helpful friendly people with lots of experience, advice, and stories to share. Enjoy your time here!

Welcome to BYC! You don't need to be tech savvy to participate, there are always people willing to help.
I have a question for you; what are your plans if you end up with two roosters and one hen?

Welcome. Nice to meet you.

Welcome! You have some nice Orpingtons! BYC as a whole is a website. The forums pageis divided into topics and subtopics, where the individual forums are accessable. I'd call these message boards. Couldn't be easier to use, though, whatever you want to call them.
