New here!

[Laker Chicks]

Hello! I am new to raising chickens, had them growing up as a kid and remember how fun they were. Finally talked my husband into letting me build a small coop and obtain no more than 10 egg layers. I don't have any chickens yet, I want to educate myself and be fully prepared before I do!
I'm excited for fresh eggs and I love animals so I'm excited to add some new friends to our family. We have 2 teen daughters who are also excited! We live on a country lake but we don't have a big yard so hopefully I don't become addicted to chickens!

I found BYC through a search engine as I was looking for answers to my many new chicken mama questions!!

Hi! Welcome! I saw your name and wondered if you were a basketball fan. I moved from so cal to Oregon. Go Blazers!

I am crazy about chickens but have managed to focus a bit and even gave up three!

I'm not really a basketball fan but we live on a lake couldn't think of a more clever name at this hour!!

Welcome! This is a great place to educate yourself. I joined just a year ago, when backyard chickens became legal in my town, and have been reading and studying and only now have my first chicks.

Welcome to BYC.
Nothing can prepare you for the true horror of chickens.
