Hello from a newbie chicken owner!

[Days2468]

Hi! My husband and I just bought our first batch of chicks tonight and are excited to get started on this adventure. After doing a lot of research, we decided to start with Buff Orpingtons, which Tractor Supply just happened to have in stock when I went in to pick up rabbit supplies. Can't wait to get started on our large coop! Thanks for having us!

Welcome to BYC!

You are going to love the Orpingtons. Very docile, friendly and great layers too. They make wonderful pets and lap sitters. Definitely stop by our learning center and coop pages for lots of information on raising your new flock and coop ideas...

Hi! Yes, we read quite a few things on this site before we took the plunge! My babies are only three days old and they are so precious.

Welcome to BYC. Buff Orpingtons are a good dual purpose breed. Hustle on that coop - those little buggers grow rapidly.
