New to here from Upstate South Carolina

[WestKnollAmy]

It is so nice to hear everyone stating to talk about spring chicks!
I hope everyone can find what they want this year. Last year some people had trouble getting the breeds they wanted because the hatcheries sold out.
I placed my order the first of Jan. so that I could get the three breeds I want this year. But at the rate that everyone is wanting to buy my started pullets this winter I may raise another bunch of chicks just to have something to sell next winter!
I am going to be hatching out chicks this year from our Welsummers, Barnevelders, Araucanas and probably a few buff Orpingtons. But maybe I will order in more of the sex links.

I am also in Spartanburg, well, more north of Greer up next to the NC state line.
There are a lot of us around the Spartanburg/Greenville area.
I can't name all my breeds but we have a lot. I have adult EE's and about 10 more chicks on the way next month. I also am going to hatch out several from all my blue egg layers as well as cross them with our Araucana roos for the bluest of eggs we can get.
I don't have any RIR but we love our sex links.
BYC is a wonderful place to meet people. Everyone seems to get along so well on here and there are so many really neat people.

I just started being a member. I live in lake Wylie (area) and plan to move to some property( as soon as I find it) in the clover area. I"m brushing up on my chicken common sense and know how as I haven't raised chickens for awhile but want to have a coop.

Brand new to chickens, im in spartanburg, saw my first snake of the season, i think my cat was playing with it. Unfortunately he didnt kill it. I think it was a racer snake, but i really dont know. It got away. I have a five year old son so im a little worried, he loves playing outside. Im worried the chickens will attract more snakes. Will they?, i dont want to get rid of my chickens i havnt had them for long and im alread hooked. I wouldnt be as worried if we didnt have copperheads around here, but we do. Not worried about mice my other cat is a great hunter she left a mouse and a mole near her food bowl this morning. Just dont want anyone to get bit. Animal or human.

New here. I am in Westminster, SC. I am very new to chickens... I bought 19 on Saturday. 5 days in and I am down to 18. I am very inexperienced at this and love the vast knowledge this site offers for me.
