Hi. I'm fairly new to chickens. We had them when I was a child but I wasn't old enough to care for them before we had to get rid of them. So there are a lot of things i need to learn.
If you haven't yet, please make your chickens a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise.
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.
Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!
If you are just starting out, take a look at building a coop. Lots more room and lots cheaper. Also, cattle panel hoop coops are super cheap and easy to assemble.
Here’s a link to the Articles section - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/ There you’ll find lots of information on almost every aspect of keeping chickens - from coop building ideas, to incubating eggs.
There’s a link on the page above to the Learning Centre - it’s a great resource. If you have a specific topic in mind, just type it in the search box - there's a wealth of information on past and present threads.
