Hi everyone,my name is Lee and i have just joined you at BYC. I have got 11 chickens atm and I'm looking for some advice on breeds and generally looking after them as best as I can. My chicken obsession started with the kids pressuring me for 1 each,and as kids do the fad soon lapsed and I was left feeding and taking care of them and as they say,,,the rest is history and I fell in love with them and now I have 11 beautiful chickens.. I don't really know what else to say atm except hi everyone and looking forward to speaking to some of you very soon.. thanks..

Hello, Lee, and . Great to have you aboard. If you post pics of your bird in the link below, am sure the folks that patrol that thread will give you an idea on breed https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this
And here's a thread were you can chat with a few locals https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/655508/uk-member-please-say-hi

If I remember correctly, you need to have a few posts under your belt to upload pictures but then you should be good to go.

If you haven't already done so, check out the Learning Center...there are some very helpful articles under that tab.

Good luck!

Very nice to meet you Lee. I am not fluent in computer stuff either. You can get around easily by using the search box to find what you want. For instance enter"what breed or gender is this." and it will come up for you easy peasy. So glad you joined us at Backyard chickens
