Hello from a future chicken momma

[TaffySweetness]

I am looking forward to getting some great ideas from all of you before I start my own little back yard flock. The reason I haven't jumped into this quite yet is for several reasons. 1. I live in an area where having poultry as pets is not permitted so I will have to wait until I move to an area that allows me to have them. (until then I dream & plan of my future pets.) 2. I like to do my research on an animal (or at least that type of animal) before I actually adopt one into my family. Although in this case I plan on adopting 6-8 of them depending on how much space I have for them when I move & build their home.

Thank you for having me.
Taffy

Hello

and Welcome to BYC!
I'm so glad you decided to join. Smart choice to learn more about an animal before you get it

and waiting till you live in a place so you can have them

. What breeds are you looking at getting? If you haven't already checked out learning center you should definitely stop by and take a peek the https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center. Please feel free to make yourself at home!

Hi Taffy, welcome to BYC!

I like your way of getting into chickens...making sure they are permitted, researching first, planning. All that prep work will make your intro to a flock go much easier and make it more enjoyable.

If you have questions along the way, always feel free to ask questions. There is a ton of information here and a lot of friendly, helpful members.

Good luck to you, thanks for joining us!

First of all I want to say thank you for the warm welcome and I look forward to getting to know everyone & learning more while I am here. Thank you for having me.

Now to answer some questions.

Chicken Girl 1 - I haven't decided on what breeds yet as I still have about 2 years before I know where I am moving to thanks to a job that keeps my family moving (Thankfully, my next home is where we will be staying & settling down roots.) and I would like to know the kind of climate I will be living in to find chickens that are best suited to that climate. (it could be anywhere from Idaho, Florida or Arizona)

trailrider330 - it will be roughly 2 years before we can move as we are at the whims of the job right now.

Hi taffy!!!! Two years is a long prep time but man, you can design a pretty dang coop in that time and save for decore and upgrades. Have fun on here and have fun planning!!!!
