Hello! I'm here to learn all I can about chickens- breeds, coops, behavior, etc with the goal of having my own small flock in the next year or two! I am really excited, but I know almost nothing so I look forward to looking around on here and learning a lot!

Hello!

Welcome to BYC and the coop! There's a lot of great peeps here! Feel free to ask lots of questions. But most of all, make yourself at home. I'm so glad you decided to joined the BYC family.
You're doing the smart thing. Me however, had to jump in with both feet and hit the ground running! Good luck with your future flock!

You've definitely come to the right place for learning about chickens and everything required for caring for them. Our learning center is a great place to start. https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center

You may want to post on your state thread or just lurk, to learn about the area, what breeds others are raising, how to get through weather extremes etc. Plus you may even find chicken folk close enough to know in person. Welcome to BYC.
