Hi all,

First I want to say thank you all so much — this site has been a lifesaver already for me taking care of our new chicks! Here’s my intro:

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Yup, first time chick mom over here

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
10…one didn’t make it after falling ~6” when transferring her to a bigger brooder

(3) What breeds do you have?
6 Plymouth Rocks and 4 Rhode Island Reds!

(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
Not sure I have one yet…it’s been pretty amazing to watch how quickly they grow!
(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I discovered you guys last week when I was frantically searching for seasoned advice on chick raising when I got the chicks home and realized I had all the equipment and no idea what a happy, healthy chick actually looked or acted like. This site was such an amazing resource! Hopefully once I get some more experience under my belt, I can help contribute too

Hi yerself bakok!! 1- got my first 4 chicks two years ago... 2- 4 laying hens... I didn't even know what the term 'laying' meant LOL... 3- I started with 2 Leghorns and 2 Comets, they were butchered last year Now I have 2 Black Stars, 2 Isa Browns. Waiting for TSC's next supply of meat chicks... 4- Eggs! I love watching and hearing their daily putting. Their feathers are so soft... I googled coops, waterers, how old do start 'laying'...
You will find lots of helpful stuff here!
