Hello BYC.

I joined this awesome forum as I am a to be owner of a few chickens. Doing tons of research before i buy and get started mainly due to where i live and not wanting to lose any chickens to my lack of knowledge.

There seems to be more than enough info on raising chickens in the Arizona heat (Phoenix area).

Anyway my name is Nathan and i'll try to not ask too many dumb questions. hehe

Hi nathan and welcome. U are doing the right thing by learning before u get chicks. I got my chicks 18 weeks ago and didnt have a clue. There are no dumb questions. I read alot in the learning center on here. Also on my state thread which is alabama. The thread named the old folks home has alot of people with 25+ years experience in chickens. Every1 on here so far has been friendly and helpful.
