Newbie here

[WhitneyR]

We just added 6 little Australorp chicks to our family. I'm very new to this and reading tons of material to learn to treasure care of our littles the best possible! Glad to have this site as a resource.

G’Day from down under WhitneyR

Welcome!

As you have already received links to some great starting points, I will just wish you and your little ones all the best.

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, 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

Be sure to take lots of pictures, chicks don't stay small very long!

What a good choice, Black Australorps are a very good breed and excellent layers.
