Another Newbie

Hi BYC members!

My husband, David, and I are new to the site and fairly new to chickens. Years ago we had a variety of chickens and ducks - but that was over 20 years ago.

We just purchased 6 little chicks and a coop and are on our way down the path of fresh eggs.

We look forward to learning from each of you and contributing however we can.

Thanks so much!

David & Traci

Very nice to meet you David and Traci. Hope you enjoy Backyard chickens as much as we do. What breeds do you have now?

Thanks for the welcome, Drumstick Diva.

We're not quite sure of the breed, we purchased egg layer pullets. I hope it's not too taboo, but we purchased them from Tractor Supply and they weren't sure of the breeding either.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Lots of us get our chicks from feed stores. I get all my chicks from places like TSC. Nothing wrong with that!

Make yourself at home here and if you have any questions about your chicks, feel free to ask. Welcome to our flock!

so glad you decided to join us. Congrats on getting back into raising chickens. Here's hoping you drew all pullets

I've only had my small flock of hens for 2 years now, wish I had you past experience when I got mine.

If you haven't already done so, explore the Learning Center Articles as a refresher, there's quite a lot of great info there.

Enjoy the forums.
