I’ve just joined BYC, but I’ve been reading the forums since getting my first flock in 2020. I’ve got two from that first batch: a silver laced Wyandotte and a naked neck. I also have four pullets that are about 19 weeks old: a calico princess, a sapphire olive egger, a mystic onyx, and a welsummer.
I love chickens and their quirky personalities. My girls are more pets than livestock, but I do enjoy the fresh eggs!
I live in Portland, Oregon and one thing I find very frustrating is the lack of vets willing to treat poultry. That’s why I’ve been reading the BYC forum looking for advice on many subjects, from rodent control to sick chicken care.

and Welcome to Backyard Chickens.
to have you here with us. Enjoy your time here at BYC!
thanks for sharing! Learning about how to care for birds comes after Vets have graduated from medical school, avian medicine unfortunately is not included in their standard curriculum. Once they graduate they are eager to get started in their practice, few of them stick around for another year or two to learn about birds.
