First Time Chicken Owner

[michelledavis]

Hello!

We are in Powhatan County, Virginia and are just entering the world of backyard chickens! We purchased 6 Buff Orpington chicks today and are looking forward to watching them grow! I'm also excited to dive into the forums and learn as much as possible!

Thanks for letting me become a part of the community!

Welcome to BYC!

So glad you could join our community! And congrats on the new chicks! You will love your Buff Orps. They are a very docile, friendly breed of chicken. Great on the laying too.

Have you stopped by our learning center yet? Lots of good reads on all the aspects of keeping your new flock...
