I really appreciate this comment because sometimes finding the answers to question through FAQ can take a really long time and I know as a newbie I'm ready to go now. Sorry

Hello and welcome to BYC!

We have a Meat bird section that you will want to hang out in for lots of help with Broilers and such. You can start a new thread here in our Meaties section... https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/21/meat-birds-etc

Oh and here is the Start a New Thread link... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/threads/add/forumId/21


Good luck and welcome to our flock!

I think this should be made into a sticky. This is great information for newcomers.


I also have one more suggestion: it would be extremely helpful if, after receiving assistance and perhaps problem resolution, posters would edit their titles to reflect this fact (when it becomes a LONG thread).


An example might be changing the title of the post from:  "Urgent- chicken eggbound,"  to "Chicken eggbound- problem resolved see post #197."


That way folks don't read through many pages of information trying to offer an opinion, only to find out that the problem has been resolved (hey, it's happened to me!).

that would be very helpfull.
great idea

I have horses and am introducing chickens who will free-range with my horses. Where would you suggest I post questions about raising them together? Could this be a new forum topic? I am especially interested in the chickens eating things from fresh poop (like undigested corn) and the manure pile....do I need to dispose of horse manure off the property if the horses have been wormed and/or have had antibiotics? I use a feed through fly reducing product and called the company about introducing chickens, they said they use the same ingredient in a similar product for chicken but had no research on chickens raised with horses on their product or visa-versa..... I am still nervous about eating the eggs? Point me to the right forum and I will post what I just wrote! lol Thanks! And yes, I am brand spanking new to the site.

Hi

Your questions cover quite a wide range of topics but I would suggest you post in the feeding section about what your chickens may eat whilst with the horses ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/12/feeding-amp-watering-your-flock

Good luck with introducing your birds and horses together and enjoy your time here on BYC

My chickens dig through the edges of my manure pile but don't really eat much out of it, except the worms after I flip it
Boy do they love worms
