Hello Everyone!

[chaidarling]

Hi there! I just joined this site after many years of contemplating getting chickens. I'm eager to learn all that I can to help keep my chicks happy and in good health. Glad to be a part of the site and look forward to getting to know everyone and helping when I can.

glad you joined .I got fencing that needs doing and somebody to feed and water so I don't have to . So when you want to start helping? Have a question ask anytime. BYCers enjoy sharing what we have learned over the years raising chickens. And since it's a chat format you can't shut us up sometimes .

If you have a specific topic in mind, just type it in the search box - there's a wealth of information on past and present threads.

Each week, various topics are discussed, which can also be a great resource - https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/topic-of-the-week-thread-archive

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

If you want to get the most out of BYC, I suggest you do the following:

• For general education, spend some time browsing the Articles link above and possibly the Learning Center. You will find excellent information for both newbies and long-time chicken owners there.
  
• 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 if it has been asked 100 times before.

Enjoy your time here.
