Hey there :)

[kevandtara]

My name is Tara. I'm a stay-at-home mom of 5. Just moved into a house on an acre and am anxious to put some chickens on it! I've got lots of questions but will try not to be too annoying haha. So thankful for a group like this.

Welcome to BYC, Kevandtara!

Glad you decided to join us, and I'm sure you'll find plenty of answers to any questions you have in this wonderful forum

Welcome! Fire away with those questions - you'd be hard pressed to annoy a bunch of chicken fanatics by asking/talking about chickens "too much"

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

You have come to the right place for all the fun and learning! You will never be annoying. That is what we are here for...questions, answers and learning!

Have you stopped by our learning center yet? Lots of great articles on all the aspects of keeping your birds...https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center

Some nice breeds to consider are Buff Orpingtons, Black Australorps, Wyandottes, Easter Eggers, Plymouth Barred Rocks...all docile friendly breeds and great layers too. Hardy over all as well.

Stop by our coops pages as well for some great ideas on building your coop...https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/2/Coops

Feel free to ask lots of questions! We're all here to help.

I would definitely check out the Learning Center, which Two Crows provided a link to. It has lots of great information for beginner chicken raisers.
