Hi there! I have just joined the BYC community and wanted to introduce myself.

I had chickens growing up and have always looked forward to having my own little flock. I finally was able to bring home 9 chicks last month and am thrilled to add these little ones to our homestead. I purchased pullets but it looks like we may have at least 1 rooster. For breeds, I chose (2) Barred Rocks, (2) Ameraucanas, (2) Silver Laced Wyandottes, (2) Welsummers, and (1) Speckled Sussex. The one that I suspect is a rooster is a Welsummer so he should turn out to be a real beauty. As long as he is not too aggressive, I will happily let him stay in the family. :)

I live in Oregon and this Spring has been SO wet. The chicks are in the guest bedroom brooder set-up still and the coop project is still ongoing. I guess I broke the first rule of getting the coop done first so we'll see how the next few weeks go!

Looking forward to getting to know you all on here!

Hey there Welcome to Backyard Chickens glad you opted to join our happy group here
 
G'Day from down under Shanoonatook :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.

BYC has Topic of the Week discussions which I have found to be a great resource, informative and sometimes entertaining; so definitely worth checking out.

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 ;)

Including your general location on your profile will assist others. Location, climate, season etc can be important factors when members are responding to any questions you may have and vice versa.

You might want to also Find Your State Thread and pop in and say hello.
 
:welcome
:yesss: We are glad you joined our flock!
