I've been "lurking" and learning for a while and decided to join what seems to be a great community. Hubs and daughter decided to buy me chicks for my birthday so we are learning as we go.
Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided join our flock. A lot of us were lurkers before joining. ) Raising chickens is a wonderful experience for children. My granddaughter (pictured in my avatar) loves our flock. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your chicks.
What a fun birthday present you got! Raising chickens is a great project for the whole family to participate in. There are a lot of friendly and knowledgeable members here so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
We have been having lots of fun with the "peeps" as my 2 year son calls them. I'm sure we will have questions at some point and will look to BYC for answers.
We have 2 productions reds, 2 polish crested, 2 not quite sure yet, and 2 ducks, also not sure what those are yet ( possibly a pekin and a cayuga.) It was a mixed bunch from TSC. Coop and run are under construction so they are currently living in my greenhouse.
