Hello from North Carolina

Planning on starting my flock this summer. Just here to soak up as much knowledge as possible. Anything you guys wish you would have known at the start, I'd love to hear.

Welcome to BYC. Click on the 'Learning Center' at the top of the page, study the forums, question away, plan, and you will be set to go. Build your coop bigger than you think you will need because these birds are addictive - in a good way.

Everyone here is an enabler. We will never tell you, you have too many chickens. You're on your own with that. Oh chicken wire is flimsy and useless. 1/2" Hardware cloth is the way to go.
