Hello!
My name is Shyanne Cossette I am proud owner of 5 Lovely Lady chicks.
I have a Rhode Island Red, Orpignton Buff, Americana , and a Cuckoo Maren.
Their names are Loretta, Lorraine, Lakota, Drummie and Stik. I joined backyard chickens because this is my first time owning chicks so it should be an adventure! and I have so much to learn!!
Can't wait to connect with other chicken lovers!

Hello!
To provide a reasoning for my vote in the poll, there is a thing called chicken math that you can find info about here on BYC and it infects many new chicken owners. It’s pretty great .
If you ever have any questions feel free to post away! Everyone will try to help.

Hello, and welcome to BYC! Make the biggest coop you can, because you WILL want more chickens!
You came to the right place, lots of great info and friendly folks ! Enjoy those chicks, they grow up way too fast!
