Hello all

[sfd6532]

I'm new to chicks and just got a coop. I'll probably start with 3 to 6 chicks. My son is 8 and he and I are excited to start our new journey

Welcome!

Best wishes to you and your son on your venture into being chicken parents.

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. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends

Kids and chickens go together like peas and carrots. You both are going to have so much fun!
