New peeps

[Rebecca Janssen]

Hi!
I'm new to chickens and BYC.
I have 16 chooks right now: 2 Roos and 14 hens. They were all hatched in late April 2017. I "hatched" my own little girl about two weeks later She's my youngest of three kids.
I have a mix of heritage birds including 6 brahma hens, 2 brahma Roos, 2 bantam Cochins, 2 silkies, 2 Polish, and 2 Danish brown leghorns.
Next spring I plan to get some Buff Orpingtons and Colombian Rocks.
I love this site for learning everything I might need to know about this new adventure!

Hi Rebecca and welcome to BYC. Congrats on your "new hatch"

There’s a link on the page above to the Learning Centre - it’s a great resource. If you have a specific topic in mind, just type it in the search box - there's a wealth of information on past and present threads.

Each week, various topics are discussed, which can also be a great resource - https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/topic-of-the-week-thread-archive
