Hi there!!

[mads+summer829]

Hello! I am a (soon to be) new chicken owner and purchased four pullets; a Swedish Flower hen, a blue laced wyandotte and two blue splash marans. I am trying to prove my family a point that I can raise chickens, so I know this website will be a great tool to help me out! If anyone has any experience with these chickens, please let me know! I would love to hear more about these breeds. Anyway, just wanted to say hello!

G'Day from down under mads+summer... Welcome!

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

BYC has Topic of the Week discussions which I have found to be a great resource, informative and sometimes entertaining; so definitely worth checking out.

If you would like to share Pictures and Stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out

You might want to also Find Your State Thread and pop in and say hello.

If would be good if you go back to your initial post and delete your age. It's best if you are under 18 NOT to post you age or other personal information. BYC has 350,000
members globally, and no way to gauge their intent.

Thank you for joining the Backyard Chickens flock
