Hi everyone!
I joined BYC about five years ago but never posted anything. I've read a TON though and am very grateful for this community and all the shared information!
I thought it was about time that I actually start posting and can hopefully give back!

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am new to chickens when it comes to caring for them myself. My family had backyard chickens for eggs when I was growing up, but I wasn't directly involved enough in their care to call myself experienced, only somewhat familiar. We...

I've been having chickens for about a decade now but barely know much about them, I only learned about what's good for them to eat and what they might need to live within. This year I have gotten 3 groups of chicks within the same month and I need help because I have two chicks who are around a...
Hi everyone. We recently discovered that one of our four hens is a rooster. We're not allowed to keep roosters where we live and have arranged for someone to take him to a happy home.
And we'd like to add another hen as soon as possible to the coop, ideally the same age as the other ladies...
Hello from Ft. worth! First time chicken owner here starting in the spring of 2020. I’ve got an assorted breed flock of 7: a speckled Sussex, barred rock, blue laced Wyandotte, bantam Cochin, a couple Easter Eggers, and a mystery hen. I love how each chicken has such a unique personality!
Aside...

Hello! I'm new to posting (but not new to reading the forums, it's been an awesome chicken resource for years for me!)

We're looking for that elusive perfect homestead chicken, and thus I am...

Hello!
My name is Emma and I’ve been keeping chickens for about 6 years now. I used to rescue chickens, but now I mostly just buy feed store chicks to raise because I haven’t come across a rescue in need of a home in a while. Right now I have four beautiful girls: a Delaware named Fiona, an...

Hi I’m new to raising chickens, we got chickens a few weeks back from my little sister’s school. We currently have two chickens, the teacher didn’t know what breed they we don’t know either.
We currently have a dog and a few fish besides just having the chickens. For other hobbies O draw and write.
