Hi Friends,

I'm a high school teacher and we adopted some chicks from my 7year old son's class, learning about the life cycle of egg development. We started with 4 chicks but one was a rooster so now we have 3 big chickens and we adopted 2 babies when we "rehomed" the rooster. One chick just died, so we will get a couple more.

I am married and have 2 kids. My son Geff is helping with the chickens. They are our pets. We live in Pacifica CA and have a small backyard coop for our girls. We just started getting eggs from 1 of them!

I have wanted to get chickens for a while and am excited to join this community and learn more about raising these wonderful girls!

Hello HayleyBeth. Welcome to BYC! There is tons of info here and very good people to help you on your journey as a new chicken owner. :)

If you want to get the most out of BYC, I suggest you do the following:
  • For general education, spend some time browsing the Articles link above and possibly the Learning Center. You will find excellent information for both newbies and long-time chicken owners there.
  • When you have specific questions, most of the time a quick search will come up with the answers.
  • If you don't find anything useful that way, post your question in an appropriate sub-forum. People here are very helpful and will answer your question even it has been asked 100 times before.
Enjoy your time here.

G’Day from down under HayleyBeth :frow 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.

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

Personally, I have found the Topic of the Week articles a great resource and a one stop shop for questions which may have already been discussed within the BYC membership group.

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 ;)
