Hello from Virginia

[Mrs Ugh]

My daughter is raising chicks (hens) for a school project. Turns out they are awfully sweet, so I am interested in learning more to help her!

Hello Mrs. Ugh. 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 don't know how much reading/research you've already done, but if you want to get the most out of BYC, I suggest you do the following:

• Spend some time in the Learning Center
• 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 it has been asked 100 times before.

Enjoy your time here.

Chicks are a lot of fun and it's always interesting to see how fast they grow and discover their individual personalities. Don't be too surprised if you find yourself among the rest of us poultry-obsessed!

Welcome! What part of Virginia are you in? We might be neighbors! We are in southwestern Virginia, on the Pigg river. Do you have other pets or livestock? We have guineas, chickens, cats and dogs so far.
Hope you enjoy the site. Post lots of pictures, we love to see chicks!
