New in the Portland area

[estradaamyl]

Hello! My name is Amy and I live just outside Portland, OR. I have 6 new chicks we brought home last Friday. I'm hoping to learn lots of info to be the best chicken Mama my kiddos have seen.

Hello and Welcome T BYC! Congratulations on your new chicks! Be sure to check out the Learning Center for lots of information on all things chicken https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center and you might want to check out your state thread for people in your area https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/270925/find-your-states-thread

Definitely follow the links that Kelsie has provided especially to the learning center. Lots of good reads on all aspects of poultry keeping.

Great to have you aboard and enjoy BYC!

Hi, Amy, and welcome - your mention of the Portland metro caught my eye - I spent my childhood making so many trips to Aloha to visit my grandparents, four years after high school living and working in McMinnville, my husband was born and raised in Portland/St Helens and my mom and sister are still out in the Gervais area.....oh how I miss the area!!! Welcome to BYC and to chicken keeping!

Hi, Amy!

I am new to this forum, as well. Yay for BYC, baby chickens, and Portland, too! (I live in SE.)
And congrats on your new tiny smalls- you must be so excited. Mine arrive in 2 weeks! Can't wait.

Anyway, welcome, from a fellow BYC newbie.

Have fun, and best of luck with your flock!!!
