Welcome, and I am excited for you! I can't wait to hear of some of the adventures you will soon be having. BYC has a ton of knowledge and resources at your disposal so you are in the right place to receive support on your chicken journey.Hi! I’ve wanted chickens for almost a decade now, and I’ve finally decided to make it happen. I’ve been working on installing a Purrfect fence to enclose my yard for my cat, and I plan on cordoning off part of it as a run for the chickens. I also have a couple sheds already on the property that can be converted to a coop. I’m planning on getting a small flock of Easter Eggers this spring on Chick Day, and I’m so excited about it! I’m someone who spends weeks of several hours a day, planning and making drawings and spreadsheets and word documents, and watching boatloads of videos and reading countless blogs to make sure I have a solid foundation of knowledge and everything I need before committing to a big responsibility like this, so I’m looking forward to learning more from all the experience keepers.
