G’Day from down under Irebtoy 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.

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 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

 

[4 ever Orpington]

We got 6 chickens, eight weeks old, last July. Four are cuckoo-morans, one (the rooster) is a blue Americana, and one is a splash lavender Americana. They started laying in November. We now get 4-5 eggs a day. We treat them like our pets. They all have names, and they come running to the house whenever they hear the door open. They will come right up to us but won't let us touch them or pick them up. Maybe if we had acquired them at a younger age they would have let us handle them. We are really enjoying having them.
