Hello and welcome to BYC!! Good luck on your chicken adventures!

G'Day from down under Big Tony Welcome!

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

Including your general location on your profile will assist others. Location, climate, season etc can be important factors when members are responding to any questions you may have and vice versa.

BYC has Topic of the Week discussions which I have found to be a great resource, informative and sometimes entertaining; so definitely worth checking out.

If you would like to share Pictures and Stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out

After harvest, you can let the girls clean up the leftovers and turn over the soil in prep for next year

The girls love to do this. they enjoy scoping out the bugs in the garden and using the leaves for shade when I plant squash. Once the plants are big enough to handle the hens, I can remove the netting. At the end of the season, they love taking dust baths in the garden. I have a special dust bath area that they also use, but love the garden too.
