Hello all!

[snowflury5]

I'm new to this site, but not new to raising chickens. When my kids were younger, we raised chickens for 4H. Now that I'm an empty-nester, I've decided to fill it back up! I have 10 Orpington chicks, Lavender and Buff, 4 Australorp pullets, and either a Cuckoo Maran or a Barred Rock (who was SUPPOSED to be an Australorp, lol!). Thanks for all of the great articles and advice, and looking forward to being a part of the group!

Welcome to BYC!

Always happy to hear of someone who continued raising birds after the kids aren't there for them anymore.

Here's hoping that you find our fantastic community to be overflowing with all the poultry info you could ever be in need of- and maybe you'll make a few lasting acquaintances along the way.
