New and feeling challenged by website navigation

[Bantamsrcute]

I am so glad this site exists I am returning to my chicken roots after being chicken-free for nearly 7 years. I have 13 little chicks ( I may have to rehome a few bantams at some point). I am in Western MA and was wondering, how would I find a Massachusetts forum feed ( for advice on solar-powered automatic doors, , community, and the occasional bartering or selling)? I have Americanas, 1 green-egger, and 6 Silkie bantams. I am in this for the fun of it, and the eggs. I am happy to chat with folks from all over too, but could use some help figuring out how to get to different forums and if there are ways to search and filter messages better.

If you're on a mobile phone, the icon in yellow is general forum navigation and the icon in blue is the search function.
If you find a thread with information you need older that 2 years, you might want to make a new one as information can get updated and members come and go.

Ok then, at the top you'll see brown tabs, on the far right is the search bar and on the far left, you see Forums.
