New here

Hi people, I'm in the UK, Yorkshire to be exact. I kept hens as a child but not since, not that is until, two weeks ago when I rescued what I believe to be a Barred Rock Rooster and 2 perkin bantams.
As you can imagine I'm desperately trying to bring my chicken knowledge up to date! I have to say I'm delighted to have found this site and the support available here. Xx

Hi and welcome to BYC, from another Tyke

There's some good refresher info here -
https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/ There you’ll find lots of information on almost every aspect of keeping chickens - from coop building ideas, to incubating eggs.

There’s a link on the page above to the Learning Centre - it’s a great resource. If you have a specific topic in mind, just type it in the search box - there's a wealth of information on past and present threads.

Each week, various topics are discussed, which can also be a great resource - https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/topic-of-the-week-thread-archive

You may wish to consider joining the UK thread as it will put you in touch with other BYC members in your area (and yup, there's quite a few of us) -
