Brand new chicken mama

PollosMama · Mar 4, 2018

Hey! We just got our first chicks 2 days ago. They are about 1.5 weeks old. 2 Buff Orpington and 1 SL Wyandotte. We just prepped the backyard today and are starting the coop build next weekend. My husband and I have 1 dog and 2 girls who are already in love with our new babies.

We love to camp, hike, kayak, drive the Blue Ridge Parkway, and hang out with our friends and enjoy a good beer (or 3 )

We're hoping 1 of our BO chicks isn't a roo, as we can technically have them here, but I know my neighbors wouldn't be too excited about it. Hopefully one day we'll have a real farm and some land. We hope to learn a lot here and will probably ask a ridiculous amount of questions

There's so many people with so many questions, and sometimes I think I ask way over the limit, but nobody minds. That's the great thing about BYC, everybody's so nice and there's so much great information and people!

Welcome to the flock!

Welcome to BYC! Congrats on the Peeps! :jumpy

As for the questions, ask away! Most poultry people like having a reason to talk about poultry.

... I don't even know how the experts do it... I am still an amateur in so many areas... but already, my family can't get me to stop talking about chickens...
I had to erect a chicken website... so I can talk about chickens all I want, while sparing my poor family from lectures on poultry.
