Great site, I have learned so much from all of you, so thank you! I live in Ontario Canada and have had the pleasure of keeping chickens for about a year now. I just hatched my first chicks yesterday, 7 out of 9 Lavender Orpingtons. Was quite the experience for sure. I think I took more pic's of my chicks than I did with my kids!! They are just so sweet. I have Buff's out in the coop and some chocolate Orpingtons and Cream Legbars in my other brooder. Love all breeds, but must admit the Orpingtons are my favorite. So docile, friendly and interesting to watch. Have a great weekend everyone!!
 
:welcome:celebrate

Glad you're here !

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/)
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!

One last thing, if you're into gardening, feel free to join this years SEED SWAP (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/seed-swap.1220129/)

Welcome to BYC! From keeping hens to hatching in a year, you’ve definitely caught the bug (no pun intended!) I hope you enjoy the site as much as we all do. It’s a very useful resource and loads of helpful members.

G’Day from down under Hunters Hen’s :frow Welcome and Congratulations! :clap

I am pleased you delurked and 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.

I note you mention you are in Ontario but if you include your general location on your profile, this will assist others. Location, climate, season etc can be important factors when members are responding to any questions you may have and vice versa.

BYC has Topic of the Week discussions which I have found to be a great resource, informative and sometimes entertaining; so definitely worth checking out.

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 ;)
