New to BYC and to chickens Recently moved to NC from AZ

[CarrollsBirds]

Purchased a modest little home with a couple acres and am dying to have a handful of chickens this spring or next, a goat or two and maybe some rabbits. If my daughter and son in law have it their way I will undoubtedly end up with mini horses and those mini piglet things lol but anyhow nah I am really not trying to do all that. So far BYC has been a huge help informing me of a lot that I need to know BEFORE I take it all on. I did start on my coop today and am repurposing pallets for the job.. wish me luck!

Hi and welcome to BYC and congrats on your new place.

You'll find lots of info in the Learning Centre - https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center and 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.

You may wish to consider joining your state thread as it will put you in touch with other BYC members in your area - https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/26/where-am-i-where-are-you

All the best

Welcome to BYC. Loads of folks use pallets to fashion a coop. If you put "Pallet coops," in the search box, you may get to see what others have done with them.

Welcome!

“Wish me luck!” .. I do wish you luck and hope that you keep us updated with your progress.

I also 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. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends

Best of luck with your coop build! And don't let anyone talk you into biting off more than you can chew (relatives are always quick to make suggestions, lol)!
