Hi and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us.

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

You may wish to consider joining your state thread as it will put you in touch with other BYC members in your area - http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/270925/find-your-states-thread#post_3239224

Hi and welcome to BYC

Awesome to have you here! Great to have someone with veterinary expertise join the conversation! I'm sure we will learn as much from you as you do from us (probably more!)
Did you choose your breeds for certain reasons? Where did you get them (since they're not you "run-of-the-mill" farm store birds)? I am raising Cream Legbars and 55 Flowery Hens (and others) as well!
