Hello all!

[damike]

Hi.
I'm obviously new here, so I'm introducing myself! My name is Darren. My wife Melody & I just bought our first flock of chicks last weekend. We know nothing about raising chickens, so I will be all over this website! Excited to begin our new journey!

Welcome to BYC Darren and Melody!

You have come to the right place! You will want to start with some reading in our learning center here on BYC for lots of great reads on all the aspects of keeping poultry...

You can check out our coops pages for lots of ideas and even some plans for coop building...

And you can even chat with others in your state thread to connect with other members nearby to you that may have helpful tips on surviving winter and staving off the local predators....

So glad you could join our community and welcome to our flock!
