Hello, new member but have been browsing everything for few months and doing research on the great site.

I'm located in northern california (north/east bay area) Currently we have six dark Brahma pullets(I hope)...they are two weeks old yesterday.

First time doing chickens...daughters do FFA and they want to show them next year. This year they have other animals. I always wanted my own egg layers as I enjoy alot of eggs but also think I will enjoy the experience of having the little dinosaurs around.

I'm starting first coop build this week. Plans get more elaborate the more I delay so just going to get on it before they are ready to get outside.
Thanks for the great site!

I have several friends who have or had backyard chickens and all of them said they wanted "big" chickens but none of the local breeders had them so they never pursued. I went to a local animal rescue for an event and they had the coolest and biggest rooster I had seen and it was a Brahma so I decided...dark Brahma for us...lol

I hope they are as awesome as the one I met.
 
G’Day from down under Iammister :frow Welcome and Congratulations! :clap So adorable!

I am pleased you delurked and 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.

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.

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 more 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 ;)

Best wishes and good luck!
