I began raising 6 Rhode Island Reds I purchased as chicks in April of 2016. I have been hooked ever since.
I only have three of the original, two died on excessively hot days, and the third died after taken to the vet, where they determined she had a possible genetic issue causing her to be unable to expel her eggs.
In August I purchased what I thought where two white leghorn hens (thinking at least one is now a Rooster) and three Black sex link chickens. I was given a duck and need to get her friend soon! I am hoping to have a very healthy flock for years to come. I enjoy reading the many posts from this group. I currently have a hen that for the second year in a row is molting in late fall. Very frustrating as the temps are getting down in the lower fifties at night. Last year she was almost totally naked.

Hi and welcome to BYC :frow We're thrilled you've decided to join us:ya Poor girl, molt's are hard on them. So sorry for your losses:hugs
 
G’Day from down under Edgewood Chickens :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 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 ;)
