Howdy Happy to have you join the family. Enjoy your time here at BYC!

G’Day from down under Cornflakes_mom and Cornflakes Welcome!

Congratulations on your recent engagement.

I do 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.

You might want to also Find Your State Thread and pop in and say hello.

BYC has Topic of the Week discussions which I have found to be a great resource, informative and sometimes entertaining; so definitely worth checking out.

If you would like to share Pictures and Stories of Cornflakes and his harem when they arrive 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

Thank you for joining the Backyard chickens community. You might try checking out your area "Craig's list," often folks are giving away coops, dog runs, dog houses, etc and sometimes their flock of chickens and feed. You can end up with lots of materials for chickens.

Greetings cornflakes_mom, and a big rooster welcome, to BYC!
Barred Rock roosters have great personalities. I raised two, they were both mama's boys!

Glad you're here !

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/)
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!

One last thing, if you're into gardening, feel free to join this years SEED SWAP (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/seed-swap.1220129/)
