Chicken newbie

[grant96782]

Howzit?! Just picked up 2 blue Silkies and 1 white Silke. Hoping I picked 3 hens. Also picked up 2 Buff Orpington, 1 Rhode Island Red and 1 Americauna. I didn't realize there was so much to learn about chickens. Looking forward to learning my new pets and hopefully I can get some fresh eggs while enjoying my new pets.

Congrats on your new chicks! They grow quickly, so if you don't have a coop already, better get started!

Greetings and welcome to BYC Grant! So glad you joined us. There's a wealth of info, knowledge and experience shared in the multitude of threads. Browse around and see what interesting stuff you can find. By all means post away when the desire strikes you, especially if you have questions (provide as much detail/info as possible and pictures truly help)... With all the great folks here, generally someone will respond in no time at all. Please make yourself at home!

Oh, if you haven't done so already, PLEASE put at least your general location in your profile. It could be very important if/when you ask for or offer help or advice. You know, climate issues and such. Old folks like me will never remember & look there first. To add it, mouse hover over Account top right and a drop down will appear. Click on Personal Details and scan down. You'll see the spot for Location. Then go to the bottom and save changes. Thanks! Hope you enjoy the site!
