Hello!

[TheMrs]

Greetings from Washington state!

I'm very excited to have found this site and get started in the world of raising chickens! I've never in my life owned or held a chicken so I've been reading and looking for all the information that I can find. If you have any tips I'd love to hear them!

Thanks!

The learning center is a great place to start. Lots of good reads on all aspects of keeping poultry from building the coop, raising your babies, feeding and keeping them health...

I hope you get your birds soon so you know what it is like to hold a chicken or chick!

And welcome to BYC!

Thank you! This site has become kind of an obsession! I even take my Ipad to the gym so I can be on here while I workout. I'm going to have one happy flock when I get them.
