Hello Everyone!

[RaliaTheChicken]

Hi! I've been looking at this site a lot lately and I figured I might as well make an account considering how often I come on here!
Anyway, I thought I'd tell you a little bit about myself! ^^
1-I usually make my username RaliaTheWolf, but I figured since this site is mainly about chickens, I'd change it up a little
2-I have 2 roosters right now. Their names are Dorito and Frito! I can tell you stories about their names and stuff later!
3-Some other hobbies and such of mine are reading, writing, drawing, anything to do with animals...
4-My current occupation is working in the Doggy Daycare and kennels at a local vet clinic! It's as fun as it sounds!
5-I'm kinda new to chickens, and I'd love learning more! Any tips you may have will be greatly appreciated! Also any random facts, because I love those too! ^^

That's a bit of a summary of everything! Thanks for reading, and I'll see you around!

Hello RaliaTheChicken. Welcome to BYC! There is tons of info here and very good people to help you on your journey as a new chicken owner.

I don't know how much reading/research you've already done, but if you want to get the most out of BYC, I suggest you do the following:

• Spend some time in the Learning Center
• When you have specific questions, most of the time a quick search will come up with the answers.
• If you don't find anything useful that way, post your question in an appropriate sub-forum. People here are very helpful and will answer your question even it has been asked 100 times before.

Enjoy your time here.

Thank you both! I'll definitely check out the Learning Center and the facts were very fun to read!

G’Day from down under RaliaTheChicken Welcome!

Working with animals of any description is definitely my dream job but somehow I ended up in IT Ah well, it pays for my animal hobbies

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.

Personally, I have found the Topic of the Week articles a great resource and a one stop shop for questions which may have already been discussed within the BYC membership group.

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

Ooh the topic of the week sounds fun! I'll go check that out right now! ^^
