Welcome to BYC!
 
Hello Blueox4. Welcome to BYC! There is tons of info here and very good people to help you on your journey as a new chicken owner. :)

I'm glad to hear that you are doing your research before bringing in chickens. They should benefit from your effort.

If you want to get the most out of BYC, I suggest you do the following:
  • For general education, spend some time browsing the Articles link above and possibly the Learning Center. You will find excellent information for both newbies and long-time chicken owners there.
  • When you have specific questions, most of the time a quick search will come up with the answers.
  • If you don't find anything useful that way, post your question in an appropriate sub-forum. People here are very helpful and will answer your question even if it has been asked 100 times before.
Enjoy your time here.
