Hi, I am new.

We do not yet have any chickens. I stumbled upon this site while doing some research. We already have bees but I cannot help with them, so I wanted to help with the research for the chickens.

Hello there! Welcome to BYC! We are so glad you joined.

Glad you're here !

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/)
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. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!

Welcome to Backyard Chickens! It is great that you can help with chickens.

Are you able to work on harvesting the honey?

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Definitely stop by our Learning Center for all kinds of good reads on all the aspects of keeping chickens. Welshies has left you with the link.

Great to have you aboard and welcome to our roost!

We just started the hives in May 2017 so we do not yet have enough honey to harvest. However I am sure when they begin harvesting I will be able to help.

That sounds like a fun thing to do! And you get all of that great honey as a bonus
