Hello All,

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
My sister and I have been raising chickens for a long time, but they have never lived at my house. This is my first flock of my own!
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Five bantams =)
(3) What breeds do you have?
2 Mille Fleur and 3 Frizzles! Looking to get some bantam Cochin to add to the flock soon =)
(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
My sister pointed me at this site, and also through googling.

I'm excited about a forum to learn more about what I can do to make my hens the happiest they can be =)

Thanks!

Hi &

Glad you could join us all here! Lovely to hear you have been able to get started with your own flock. I too keep mainly bantams (polish) and they are super friendly.

Good luck for the future and enjoy your time here on BYC

Greetings and welcome to BYC Kimu! So glad you joined us. There's a wealth of info, knowledge and experience shared in the multitude of threads. Browse around and see what interesting stuff you can find. By all means post away when the desire strikes you, especially if you have questions (provide as much detail/info as possible and pictures truly help)... With all the great folks here, generally someone will respond in no time at all. Please make yourself at home!

Oh, if you haven't done so already, PLEASE put at least your general location in your profile. It could be very important if/when you ask for or offer help or advice. You know, climate issues and such. I recommend at least your state as most folks won't be able to figure out where if you put anything more specific (county, town, street, etc) by itself. Old folks like me will never remember & look there first. To add it, mouse hover over Account top right and a drop down will appear. Click on Personal Details and scan down. You'll see the spot for Location. Then go to the bottom and save changes. Thanks! Hope you enjoy the site!

G’Day from down under Kimu Welcome!

I have 5 adorable, pet bantams, including a couple of bantam Cochins

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.

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

BYC has Topic of the Week discussions which I have found to be a great resource, informative and sometimes entertaining; so definitely worth checking out.

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
