G’Day from down under

Nice to meet you!
Having the covered run is not only going to keep the girls in but also the hawks out
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.
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.
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. These two in particular may be of interest to you at this stage:
Topic of the Week - Getting Started, Keeping Chickens
Topic of the Week - Keeping the Flock Safe from Predators
If you would like to share
Pictures and Stories of your flock 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
. Glad you could join us
