Hello New To The Group

[DovesHeart]

New chicken Mom here, my name is Laurellynne and I live in the Cariboo of British Columbia BC. I have 5 female buff Orpingtons and two Roo's of the same breed as well as 12 miller brown leg horn layers. My whole point to joining is to learn to be a good chicken Mom with dependable knowledge and not just hypothetical myth birthed on what people think rather that would has been proven to work and does not work. I want to understand chicken illnesses and how to help prevent them and I want to understand how to best help them in different seasons to thrive. I also want to know what to avoid. I believe fact and wisdom are imperative to help my chickens thrive. I also have meat rabbits and Nigerian dwarf goats.

Hiya Laurellynne, and welcome to BYC!

I see in your intro you're interested in learning about chicken illnesses. Rather than learning about illnesses, most of us place more emphasis on preventing them when we can. That entails more than what one of us could provide in a reply here, so I found a BYC article that simply summarizes it. Disease Prevention

We're glad you're here!
