New to BYC

[Lorose]

Hello BYC Community! I am new owner to a backyard chicken/duck flock. I am a dietitian that loves fresh and local foods. Plus, one of my household’s favorite proteins are eggs, so starting my own backyard flock sounded like the perfect endeavor. In the short time that I’ve had my young flock, I’ve learned that it’s more than just the eggs that’s so gratifying about having chickens/ducks.

Raising a flock can be a lot of fun for the entire family (and you're right...there's a lot more to them than just the eggs).

Enjoy!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Eggs are a welcome side bonus to raising chickens but that is no longer the main reason why I keep them.

Welcome Nice to have you here! Agree, eggs are just a bonus My flock provides entertainment, pest control, compost and endless hours of relaxation watching their antics while forgetting many worries for a while. My flock consists of seniors by now, fewer eggs but it is wonderful to see a 10 year old hen I raised from a chick still happy and healthy
