Hi Everyone,

My wife and I have recently moved to New Brunswick and decided that since we have just over an acre of property that we'd like to have some feathered friends. We have some barred rock pullets ordered and are looking forward to having them join the family.

I have (mostly) built a coop from scratch. I read a book or two on "essential components" of a coop and worked my own design from there. This website has been a great resource so far.

One thing I've noticed about the site is that there is a vast difference/mixing of opinions which has its benefits and downfalls. While there is a lot of contradicting information, it is all very well intended and the best part is that usually "everyone is right" even if they are saying different things! I've found that finding information that fits my situation (family pets/location/climate/materials) and applying the solution that "I" like best has been very helpful.

I look forward to interacting with you all!

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

I have found that the reason there is such a difference of opinion here is that what works for me, does not necessarily work for you. So you are going to see many different ways of doing things. It is up to you to work with your flock, take something from everyone's responses and come to your own conclusions. Keeping poultry is a a huge learning adventure. The learning never stops until the day you stop keeping them. Each flock and bird is different from anyone else's and if you spend enough time with your birds, they themselves will teach you all you need to know.

Enjoy your soon to be new Barred Rocks! I raised a batch of Rocks this year too and I am enjoying them greatly.

Make yourself at home here and welcome to our flock!
 
Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

We all will raise our chickens differently so we can't tell you exactly what to do. But we will help in any ways we can.

Good luck to you!:)
 
Welcome from a fellow Canuck from Alberta! You're definitely right about the great info (and people) on this forum! It's been a great resource for us as well!
Enjoy!
