Welcome to BYC. Once your wife sees how cute chicks are...she'll want more.

welcome DaddysChickens
Come over to the "NC" thread...you'll find LOTS of neighbors there. Hope you and your family can come to the show in Morganton this weekend (Morganton Show thread also), Matt has set up a BYC table so we can all meet.

Little advice on the chicken house & pen---make it TWICE as big as you think you'll need....cause you always end up with more birds than you planned on

Welcome to BYC! I started with chickens over the summer and the people of BYC have been great. Please visit my BYC Page for my blog links that you may find informative or amusing.

And so it begins.... Be sure to plan for chicken math.
