Hello everyone, here's a bit about my chicken story:
I fell in love with chickens as a middle schooler, and took complete responsibility of our family's laying flock by the time I was 14. My first ever chickens of my own were two quail antwerp belgian banty roos, one of which I showed in the county fair. Then ensued a whole suite of different banty varieties through high school. After settling down a bit to work on my PhD here in the Upper Peninsula (U.P.) of Michigan, I now have a mixed flock once again, this time large breed egg layers (and two Russian Orloffs). The flock fluctuates between 10 and 20 birds throughout the year. The roos are a Buff Orpington and Russian Orloff, hens are a wide mix including Barred Rocks, Wyandottes, Welsummers, and various crosses. I'm really excited to be on BYC, as I've been getting advice from the forums for years; just now hoping to join in on the discussions! :)
 
Welcome from New Orleans, sounds like you have lots of expirence with chickens. This site is fun and full of friendly people to chat chicken with, as well as answer questions you may have. Hope you enjoy spending time with us.
 
G’Day from down under Hen Fen :frow Welcome!

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

You might want to also Find Your State Thread and pop in and say hello.

Personally, I have found the Topic of the Week articles a great resource and a one stop shop for questions which may have already been discussed within the BYC membership group.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out ;)
