I got my first babies (4 weeks old) on 8/1/15. I am new to being a chicken owner. I have 4 RIR and 2 silkies. I cannot wait to learn all I need to learn about being a new chicken owner. I have done a lot of research on owning/caring for chickens and just about everything I have learned I have learned from BYC. Can't wait to meet other chicken owners and get ideas on raising/caring for my babies!!!

and Welcome To BYC! A great place to start is the BYC Learning Center, lots of nice articles on all aspects of poultry keeping you'll find helpful with your new flock 
I'm sure you will enjoy your new chicken adventures very much. It's a fabulous and very rewarding hobby. Kelsie has left you a great link to check out for the learning centre. Lots of great articles on keeping your new babies safe, happy and healthy.
