About myself

[brittney.meagan]

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
We got our first chickens last year and love them.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now? We have 3 and are looking to add more.

(3) What breeds do you have?
Henrietta and Margaret are Plymouth Rock’s and Gertrude is an Orpington.

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com? Looking for free chicken coop plans.

(5) What are some of your other hobbies? Deer hunting, fishing, playing sports, crocheting, and reading.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share. Me, my husband and our 2.5 year old daughter. We have 2 German Shepherd’s, Toby and Lucy, 2 Bassett hounds, Cooper and Minnie, and a bearded dragon, Pickles.

Greetings and welcome to BYC Brittney! So glad you joined us. Watch out with that chicken math. Before you know it you'll have 3 dozen! There's a wealth of info, knowledge and experience shared in the multitude of threads. Browse around and see what interesting stuff you can find. Specifically, the coop thread has thousands of pictures you can look at for coop ideas. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/category/coops.12/

By all means post away when the desire strikes you, especially if you have questions (provide as much detail/info as possible and pictures truly help)... With all the great folks here, generally someone will respond in no time at all. Please make yourself at home!

Oh, if you haven't done so already, PLEASE put at least your general location in your profile. It could be very important if/when you ask for or offer help or advice. You know, climate issues and such. Old folks like me will never remember from this thread. To add it, mouse hover over Account top right and a drop down will appear. Click on Personal Details and scan down. You'll see the spot for Location. Then go to the bottom and save changes. Thanks! Hope you enjoy the site!

It's nice to have you here, thanks for joining us!

If you haven't already done so, you might want to read up on isolation and integration. Adding new birds to an existing flock can be tricky and it's best to be prepared.
