Hello from Indy!

Hi everyone!

I am new to the chicken life entirely. I ordered 15 chicks from Hoover Hatchery and 14 chicks arrived yesterday morning. (Not sure where the 15th is? Maybe they miscounted?)

I am hoping to be able to eventually sustain my families egg eating habits with our flock, but unsure if that will be possible due to how many eggs we eat!

I am very excited to get to know chicken experts!!

G'Day from down under kosborn1 Welcome!

I 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.

Please do check out the Topic of the Week discussions Pork Pie mentioned. I have found these to be a great resource, informative and sometimes entertaining.

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

Including your general location on your profile will assist others. Location, climate, season etc can be important factors when members are responding to any questions you may have and vice versa.
