A new egg has arrived...

[MotherHenOutsideThePen]

I have just joined this group. My daughter and I are about to add chickens (for eggs) into our lives. We thought that starting in spring would be a good time. Now our research begins... We look forward to getting insight and knowledge from this site.

For the past 26 years our family has designed and manufactured log homes in Northern California. We are going to see if we can build a nice hen house from wood we have in our production yard.

Here goes.....

Hello and welcome to BYC. I'd imagine if you can't build the fanciest coop, you should give up your collective day jobs

Here’s a link to the Articles section - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/ There you’ll find lots of information on almost every aspect of keeping chickens - from coop building ideas, to incubating eggs.

There’s a link on the page above to the Learning Centre - it’s a great resource. If you have a specific topic in mind, just type it in the search box - there's a wealth of information on past and present threads.

Each week, various topics are discussed, which can also be a great resource - https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/topic-of-the-week-thread-archive


You may wish to consider joining your state thread as it will put you in touch with other BYC members in your area - Find Your State Thread



Best wishes

Welcome to BYC! Great to have you here.

Raising chickens and now quail is something I do with my daughter, too. It's been so rewarding. I trust it will be for you as well.
