Hi Chris

Glad you could join the flock! Do you have any breeds in mind for starting your flock? The learning centre is a great place to start for lots of articles on getting started. Here is the link > https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center There are lots of articles on housing feeding and keeping your flock safe and healthy.

Hello and Welcome to BYC!
What types of breeds do you plan on getting??

Nice to meet you Chris - Australorp = excellent choice. Welcome to Backyard chickens.

I'm going for the Australorp breed.

Australorps are my favorite standard breed. I've raised them for years (along with dozens of other breeds), and they are extremely hardy, calm and gentle (my children and granddaughter made lap pets of them), and the best layers of the standard, brown egg laying breeds. Good luck with your Australorps.
