Hello from the South Okanagan

Hello! My family is planning on raising hens for eggs. We know nothing!! I found this site and am hoping it will help me to get off on the right foot! We are allowed to have 5 hens on our property as we live in town, (and no roosters). Lots to learn, wish me luck!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Good luck with your new flock! A great place to start is the BYC Learning Center, lots of nice articles on all aspects of poultry keeping you'll find helpful with your new flock https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center and it is always fun to check out your state thread for chicken keeping neighbors https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/270925/find-your-states-thread

Welcome to BYC!

If you want to raise chickens from chicks, you might want to think of going with the Red or Black Sex Links (they're a hybrid instead of a pure breed). With the sex links, the male and females are different colors at time of hatch so there's less chance of mixing them up. And they are wonderful layers of big brown eggs.

Feel free to ask questions, there's a lot of information available and a lot of friendly, helpful members.

Thanks for joining us!
