:welcome Good care. Everyone is different, their situations, space and a lot of other factors. What works well for you might not work as well for others and vice versa. As long as you and your birds are happy and healthy, all is good. If you have questions there are a lot of people here who will have an answer. Good luck and have fun...

Hello and welcome to BYC! Some tips are keep different types of syringes around (Have one that uses CC), keep SafeGuard for goats close by with a 1CC dose for a standard chicken and 1/2CC for Bantam as they keep internal parasites at bay. Treat for mites monthly.
 
Greetings and welcome to BYC from NE TX! So glad you joined us. There's a wealth of info, knowledge and experience shared in the multitude of threads. Browse around and see what interesting stuff you can find. By all means post away when the desire strikes you, especially if you have questions (provide as much detail/info as possible and pictures truly help)... With all the great folks here, generally someone will respond in no time at all. Please make yourself at home!

PLEASE put at least your general location in your profile. It could be very important if/when you ask for or offer help or advice. You know, climate issues and such. I recommend at least your state as most folks won't be able to figure out where if you put anything more specific (county, town, street, etc) by itself. Old folks like me :old will never remember & look there first. To add it, mouse hover over Account top right and a drop down will appear. Click on Personal Details and scan down. You'll see the spot for Location. Then go to the bottom and save changes. Thanks! Hope you enjoy the site!
