First day at BYC

[bajabirdbrain]

Hello, and welcome. We, too have a couple of Orpingtons in our small flock and they are wonderful chickens. You have come to the right place to get answers to ALL of your questions, probably more than you need!!! A couple of suggestions, more for those of us that love following your adventures, is to have some pictures of your operation and also where you are located. Just put the location info in your avatar unless you are on a witness protection program!! This allows some answers to respond more accurately depending on where you live. Good luck and hope to read more about you.

We're so glad to have you! Please know any questions you have as a new chicken caretaker are welcomed- make sure to check through our Articles and past forum posts if you have any questions, or make a post in the forums.
