New to the chicken lifestyle

[nakedacres]

Hi! My husband and I recently decided to quit our "jobs" and move across our state to start a homestead lifestyle. We are taking things slowly and will be getting chickens in the spring. We want to start with 6-8 chicks and concentrate on them and our garden next summer. We are so excited to begin this lifestyle and connect with others that are raising chickens.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

Wow, that's quite a step you've made but must be so exciting!

Here's our Learning Center where you'll find oodles of articles our members wrote about raising chicks and chickens.

We've got a DIY-Self-Sufficiency thread here you may like.

We also have a couple of sister sites you may be interested in too:

The Easy Garden

We're glad you're here!
