    New member here - Happy New Year!

    Hi there - I'm a backyard chicken keeper, and have been since last summer. I have 2 black silkie cross hens and just yesterday hatched out 3 beautiful white silkie chicks. This was my first time hatching eggs and it was nerve-wracking and exciting at the same time. I purchased fertilized eggs...

    New member - backyard quail predator issues

    Hi there! I've been stalking this forum awhile but just joined. We originally wanted chickens, but decided we would better fly under the radar of our extremely strict HOA with quail. We got our first 8 coturnix quail in April 2022 and have learned a lot from many rounds of challenges (trouble...

    Intro! (:

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Began my chicken journey beginning of 2022, had them when I was a kid growing up though. Not that that counts for anything lol (2) How many chickens do you have right now? I have in total 19 chickens, 15 in one coop/run...

    Hi I am new to chickens but I currently have 11. I use to have 12 but my dad gave away one of the roosters for being a bit mean. I got them this year. I have 5 of the Smokey pearls that were sold at tractor supply, and 6 mysterious chicks that were sold to me as Rhode island egg layers but they...

    Hi, I’m new to BYC!

    Hey there, new BYC member (Jenny) here. I’ve joined this website because I often have a few queries regarding my chickens. I’ve got six hens and a hybrid cockerel:). I’m fairly new to owning a rooster, he’s just under a year old.

    Hi from South Australia, southern suburbs.

    We've had chooks since Nov/Dec 2017, currently have 2 black Australorps and one lavender/white bantam 'not an Aracuna because it has a tail, but it lays blue eggs so???' Favourite part of having hens is their bizarre personalities and the way they look permanently indignant. We're also...

    New member - Biofilter recommendations please?

    Hey there 😊 Just joined, although I've been using the advice here on and off for a while. I grew up on a farm with chickens, but that was a loooong time ago! We currently have 5 chickens (3 golden warrens and 2 sunsets), and 7 ducks (miniature pom pom crosses). We live in a pretty standard semi...

    New to SC and Chickens

    Hello! My name is Olivia. 3 months ago my husband and I moved from Florida to SC. I have always wanted chickens and now have the space and zoning to do so. I want to learn as much as I can before I actually build a coop and purchase chickens. I’m hoping this group can point me in the right direction

    Hello from the Tangier Sound!

    I'm finally joining BYC now that I've got a nice flock of my own! This past March I kick-started my dream of a sustainable homestead and purchased 6 day old chicks; I had 3 barred rocks, 2 leghorns, 1 Rhode Island White. Then I couldn't help myself and got two silkies, a blue and chocolate...

    Squawking Soon

    Hello all! Another future chicken crazy person here! I’ve lurked for a while, but I decided to join so I could interact with all of the fun posts and people. I spent my childhood on a small farm (sadly without chickens) then wound up in suburbia for about fifteen years. Spouse and I finally...

    Hello from Illinois!

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I have been around chickens all my life.. Grandparents always let me raise one or two at home and then take to the farm when it was bigger. My first flock of chickens came after marrying the farm(er). This farmhouse already had a...

    Odd little Aquila - thoughts?

    Hi, I’ve searched for more on this but these hybrid Aquilas seem too new for much to be out there on them either on Google on here in threads. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m curious both from anyone with Aquilas OR with birds in their lineage (RIR, Australorps, White Rock) if you noted them staying small or...
