G’Day from down under
fishheadken 
Welcome!
I was reading all the posts and wondering why no one had mentioned that we now have a fish head Ken and a pork pie Ken and then got to
Diva's post

I think it might be leading to a whole menu of Ken's ... someone tag me when we get to desert!
On a more serious note now, have you decided on a breed? If not, this article might be of assistance:
Pickin a Chicken
I do hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.
I note that
Pork Pie mentioned the
Topic of the Week articles which I have found to be a great resource and a one stop shop for questions which may have already been discussed within the BYC membership group. However, I did just want to emphasize how helpful they are and that some of them are aimed at those new to chickens so lots of 'kitting out the coop' and 'predator defense' etc. This one may be of particular assistance:
Topic of the Week - Getting Started, Keeping Chickens
If you would like to share
Pictures and Stories of your flock when they arrive or the coop build, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out
Best wishes and good luck!
