Greetings Faye!
I am so happy you joined our community here at BYC! You are right, this site has a lot of valuable information, and has helped thousands of people just like yourself raise chickens and other poultry. When you do get some chickens I would love to see some pictures. If you need any help figuring out the mechanics of the site, or just wanna talk you can send me a message! I hope to see you around the forums more!
Happy [almost] New Year!!!

Hi Faye and welcome to BYC

Here’s a link to the Articles section - 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

All the best

I do 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.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock when they arrive, 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

Best wishes for the New Year!
