Hello all! Just got our first flock. We have 2 Buff Orpingtons, 3 Barred Rocks, & 1 mystery chick (possibly an Easter Egger). They are all around 4 weeks old & their names are Buttercup, Peanut, Cocoa, Oreo, Pinwheel, & Madeleine. Glad to be a member of such a wonderful & helpful site :)

Glad you're here !

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/) and (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...essential-supplies-and-how-to-use-them.64830/)
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!

One last thing, if you're into gardening, feel free to join this years SEED SWAP (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/seed-swap.1220129/)
