My daughter has been begging for chicks-and we finally got 8, but I'm panicking about winter here in Illinois-our weather is insane, and I want to avoid a lamp... saw plan for MN hardy plan and run with shade fabric. I shouldn't bring up fabric-quilter by addiction.....

G'Day from down under fraqncie... Welcome and Congratulations!

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.

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. These may be of particular interest:
Topic of the week - Winter chicken keeping
Topic of the Week - Chicken Keeping in Weather Extremes

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

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.
