New to site and Chickens

[Southern star]

Hello everyone. I'm new to this site and chickens. My family lives in south AL and we have 58 Cornish X we are raising to butcher next week! We are learning a lot and feel good about knowing where our food comes from. God bless!!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Good luck with processing the cornish next week! Be sure to check out the Meat Birds forum for hints on processing them https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/21/meat-birds-etc

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

So glad you could join our community! Good luck with all the butchering. I hear it is a bit daunting at first, but growing your own food is the best way to live. Good for you and good for the birds.

Enjoy this new adventure you are on and welcome to our flock!

Hi - you may want to go ahead and start your own thread in the "emergency/illness/disease" forum here https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures - so that those that can help are not confused by it being mixed in with someone's introduction thread.
