Hey everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself....

1. I've been a proud chicken momma for about 96 hours

2. I have 4 teenage hens, about a month or two away from laying.

3. Speckled Sussex, Barred Rock, Rhode Island Red & an Americana

4. I found out about the group through my aunt, who has had chickens all her life (or at least as long as I can remember). Once she saw that I followed through and FINALLY got my gals, she told me to officially join! But, I've been reading lots of threads during my chicken prep time.

5. I cook A LOT, and in my free-time I blog about the adventures in my kitchen. I've also recently learned to skateboard (quarter-life crisis anyone?) and love to enjoy a good glass of wine with friends and family.

6. I live within the city limits of a medium-sized city in NC with my husband, our cat and dog, and now these four gals. We have a relatively small lot, but have 2 large gardens and try to live a sustainable and "green" lifestyle (single car family, preserving, composting, thrifting, etc). I work in marketing for a large non-profit organization and am excited to be on this new adventure and welcome any and all advice!
 
Hello and welcome to BYC
Here’s a link to the Articles section - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/ There you’ll find lots of information on almost every aspect of keeping chickens - from coop building ideas, to incubating eggs.

There’s a link on the page above to the Learning Centre - it’s a great resource. If you have a specific topic in mind, just type it in the search box - there's a wealth of information on past and present threads.

Each week, various topics are discussed, which can also be a great resource - https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/topic-of-the-week-thread-archive

There's also a couple of threads on cooking / baking: "ask a chef" is one of them - I can't remember the title of the baking thread, but it was started by a member whom we generally refer to as "NFC"

You may wish to consider joining your state thread as it will put you in touch with other BYC members in your area - http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/270925/find-your-states-thread#post_3239224

All the best

Congrats on getting your flock!

I'm the NFC that started the home baker's thread...we're always trying out new things (and not just baking, but cooking too) and you're certainly welcome to join us here:
Any Home Bakers Here?

Best of luck to you and thanks for joining us!
