New to chickens

[lisalane831]

So I have found myself raising 4 chicks for the fresh eggs. I have never raised them from babies before and I am excited to learn all I can. I have taken care of adult hens but never had any of my own. Any advice that can be given I am open to. Thanks in advance.

Welcome!

As you have already received links to some great starting points, I will just wish you all the best.

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.

If you would like to share more 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
