Welcome!
Now that you've joined you may find yourself starting a lot of sentences with the words,"Today the chicken people on BYC said..."
Glad you've joined the flock!

Glad I'm not the only one.

Guten tag! Wie geht's? Judging by the names of your Sussies, you're a fan of '70's-'80's sitcoms. We have 3 Light Sussex hens ourselves and find them friendly, hardy and reliable layers. Welcome to BYC, and we look forward to seeing you around the yard!

G’Day from down under DeutschHuhner Welcome!

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.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, 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

Hello.
I am an American living in Germany with my Italian/German husband and his parents. We are the proud guardians of nine Sussex chickens who are just over 6 weeks old today. First, I would like to say what a wealth of information we have gained from reading your questions and posts! Thank you all!
We started this process way back in April but have only recently reached the point to actually get our flock started. We took some of your advice and made some of our own calls, too. We've made some mistakes and had to backtrack and regroup a couple of times but whatever we did, it seems to be working. We picked them up when they were two days old and the young ladies; Laverne, Shirley, Loosey, Ethyl, Vera, Flo, Loretta, Dolly and Cha-Cha; all seem to be thriving. The people we got them from dropped off some vaccine for us the other day and remarked on how much bigger they are than the ones they kept.
I look forward to looking to you folks for your continuing advice, suggestions, experiences, etc. Have a safe and happy Holiday season!

vaccine? Deutsch Huhner glad to have you here at Backyard Chickens

I guess chickens here are supposed to be vaccinated fairly frequently. Mine are likely overprotected... there are only nine of them and they won't be mingling with other chickens or going to shows or anything like that. Better safe than sorry, though. It just goes in their water. Thanks for the warm welcome, EVERYONE!
