Here we go, gonna raise some chickens

[tntchix]

Hi everyone. My youngest has decided she wants to raise some chickens and share the eggs. So we are jumping in with both feet. I have been lurking on BYC (sorry) for a short while now and am now in love with te idea. I am not very good with forums but like anything you learn and this community seems to really care so I'm all in. As soon as I figure the techie part out I will share our flock. They are so dang cute.

Thank you all in advance for the guidance and advice we are sure to need.

Welcome to BYC!

Yes, lots of us lurked here on BYC before we became members. But this IS the place to be when you own poultry. We are bursting at the seams with knowledge here!

You may want to start with some reading in our learning center for lots of good reads on all the aspects of keeping poultry...

If you have any questions feel free to ask. So make yourself at home here on BYC and welcome to our flock!

Thank you. Today is all about verifying how to use the site responsibly and learning what I can so we can be good chick mamas to our new additions.

Kicking back in the new coop, feels like home already.

Thanks Kelsie.
I have already taken a peek over there. Anxious to meet some locals too.

I already found someone who probably isn't that far away from me. Fancy that!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! So far we have had to deal with pasty butt only one bantam chick. My favorite, of course. Midnight. I think it's gone. She is the tiniest little thing compared to the rest of the flock. I will get pics up soon.
