Hey @sharie7396 I just figured out from your city in Hornell I am only 3 hours away from you. This is the first member on BYC I have welcomed that has lived close to me. I am a resident of Holland Patent and I also have 6 free range chickens and they are awesome!
I am so happy you joined our roost at BYC! I would like to welcome you with open arms! Yes this site is very helpful for all chicken related things! Since you are new to chickens I will leave you the link to the most prominent learning area on this site our Learning Center a place with updated articles for old and new chicken raisers! https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center I hope you enjoy BYC and make sure to post pictures of your flock and give us updates on how you are doing here https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/40/family-life-stories-pictures-updates Also since you are planning on raising baby chicks this forum should be able to help you. https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/11/raising-baby-chicks and https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/5/incubating-hatching-eggs I am happy you were able to follow your dream and get a flock of your own that is so nice! All the best of luck to you and your flock!
