Anxious newbie

[qmac1206]

First time chicken owner here! I have recently acquired 4 Rustic Rocks. To be honest, I feel like I’m going in blind. I already had one sick chick, but was able to get her on the road to recovery with information from forums like this. Still very anxious! But looking forward to raising these gals and learning more about the backyard chicken world.

Welcome to BYC!

You're not alone. I was definitely lost when I first started but you'll gain knowledge and experience over time. I know I've definitely learned a lot through being on BYC.

Enjoy your chickens and have fun!

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

You'll find it's not as daunting and difficult as it may seem sometimes. The longer you raise chicks and chickens, the more natural you'll feel about it.

Check out the Forums you can post in. One important one is the Emergency/Disease forum. Anytime you've got a chick or chicken acting off, just post a picture and the details there, and folks will give you suggestions.

We're glad you're here!
