Hi, everyone! I frequent these forums often, but finally joined with my first "issue".

I LOVE chickens. I swear I could pull a chair into my coop and watch them all day long! We started with 3 hens and a pretty rooster in a small coop next to our house. Then we adopted my sister-in-laws large coop also with 3 hens and a rooster. We were given 6 beautiful chicks, and are letting one sit on eggs right now (we candled them today. 5 are viable so we have our fingers crossed!) and are incubating 7 more.

Well, thanks for all of the amazing information in this site! It is so very helpful!!

Welcome to BYC! What kind of chickens do you have? Good luck with your flock.

I want to have an intelligent answer for you, but I don't

. I tried to look them up, but rather than take a stab in the dark and sound like a complete idiot, I'll sound like a basic idiot and say... I have four orange ones, 5 white-ish ones, one that's colored like a pigeon, and 2 black ones. Sorry I can't give you a better answer. I'm learning as I go!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Good luck with the hatches, hope you get lots of chicks! If you want to try and figure out what breeds yours are you could post pics in the What Breed/Gender forum www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this

Chicken TV is the best, new shows every day, no reruns, no cable or satellite bills. Lots of folks pull up a chair and enjoy them. It might be good to sit under an umbrella for poo protection.

Welcome to BYC

Glad you joined us! I agree with you on chicken TV. They are entertaining creatures for sure!

Welcome to BYC!

Yes, nothing better than Chicken TV! I spend a great deal of time with my birds. Sometimes the hubby thinks I should set up a cot in the coop and just live with the chickens. HA!

Make yourself at home here on BYC and welcome to our flock!
