Hi! I’m a new chicken owner, bought my first chicks at TSC about 3 weeks. Since then, i’ve bought some additional chicks from local chicken owners. I have 20 chicks now a mix of assorted bantams, 3 RIR, an EE, an olive egger, a copper Maran, 3 silkies, 1 black sex linked. I’m hoping all of my sweet bantams don’t turn out to be roos. I do have a neighbor lined up to take any unwanted roos. We’ve purchased and built a big coop and a small nesting box but my babies are still in the brooder currently because they’re so small. I plan to build a large nesting area and roost as they grow. Keeping our lab away is the biggest challenge right now. Excited to learn more about backyard flocks!

G'Day from down under Julie..... :frowWelcome and Congratulations! :clap

I 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.

Please do check out the Topic of the Week discussions Pork Pie mentioned. I have found these to be a great resource, informative and sometimes entertaining. This one may be of particular interest: Topic of the Week - Dogs and chickens

If you would like to share Pictures and Stories of your flock or fur baby, 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 ;)

Including your general location on your profile will assist others. Location, climate, season etc can be important factors when members are responding to any questions you may have and vice versa.
