Hello! New member from Oregon

[ebuchholz]

Hi there I'm a new chicken owner and have had my first flock for about a year. I live in Oregon by the coast so we get lost of rain here. Recently my 3 girls have been through a lot but are all very happy and healthy. I have just purchased 14 more chicks and I'm in the process of "new obstacles" that are arising. I'm sure I'm going to have lots of questions and I'm so excited to join this group!!

Welcome to BYC, "neighbor"! So glad you've joined us here. It sounds like you've caught the chicken bug in a big way - not surprising your flock is expanding. You have come to the right place to help you sort through all the new obstacles you are encountering - and just for sitting around "talking chickens" all day.

Welcome!

I 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. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends

Have you checked out the "Learning Center," above. It is a vast storehouse of poultry information.

This article from the Learning Center does a good job explaining how to integrate new birds to your existing flock:

Thank you all for the support! I've been combing through articles and threads that have previously been posted on here and I've gained a lot of knowledge so far! I'm excited to learn as much as I can and it looks like I'm in the right place
