Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. If you haven't done so already, definitely our Learning Center at https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center. There is loads of useful information there. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your flock.
If you'd like to 'meet' other members in VA, you can find some of them here on your state thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/80/virginia
It can be helpful to chat with members in the same area as yourself.
