Hello From Minnesota

[Brea81]

Brea here, and I am new to the chicken world! We will be doing the backyard thing, as we're in town, but we can have up to 6 hens. I have had horses and alpacas before, but chickens are entirely new to me and my husband. We are currently in the research stage, and I'm so glad I came upon this site! Looking forward to learning!

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

You have come to the right place for all the learning!

Have you stopped by our learning center yet? Lots of helpful articles on all the aspects of keeping poultry from getting started with chickens, building the coop, raising the chicks and keeping your adult flock happy, healthy and safe from predators...https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center

Enjoy this new journey you are on and welcome to our flock!

Thank you! I've already hit up the Learning Center quite a bit. There is some very helpful information there, and if I'm not careful, I'll be in front of the computer all night!

Being in front of the computer all night sounds right. That's what I do. Welcome to the flock, hope you enjoy Backyard chickens as much as we do.

Glad you have joined us.

IMO raising chickens will be so much easier than horses and alpacas. Good luck with the research and your new adventure.
