Greetings from NH; Grew up on a dairy farm and had to collect eggs when I was quite young. As a result, I am currently afraid of chickens (as I was frequently pecked) but want to work through my fears and start up a small operation. Looking forward to learning lots!

Welcome to BYC, and good luck in establishing your flock. Remember that you are bigger and smarter than them ------------ and wear gloves.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

When I was young, I was chased by a really big mean rooster every day trying to collect eggs. If I could over come this, so can you! Chickens really are harmless, at least the hens are.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Start over raising day old chicks so you can acclimate to them as they grow.

Hi and welcome to BYC!! It's nice to meet you!! I agree with @DobieLover Start with tiny baby chicks, and as they grow you'll become more in love with them, and less afraid!

Welcome to Backyard Chickens getting peeps is probably the best thing

I agree also. Getting chicks first will allow you and them to grow together. All of you will be well socialized. Remember BYCers are here and will be with you every step of the way, if you need advice or reassurance.
