Hi!

We have a small 10 acre hobby farm in Moose Lake MN. Current residents include 4 medium sized dogs, Snoop (16 YO yellow lab), Reese (6 YO rot/Shepard mix), Copper ( 5YO Hungarian Vizsla, and Chance (5YO lab/doberman mix). 4 California meat rabbits (plus the current litters), and 21 laying hens.
This weekend we will be picking up this years round of bees and just put in an order for 40 meat birds and 15 more layers (some to replace a few of the older gals in the flock).

The other half has raise meat birds before but this will my my first experience. We've had our current flock of layers for one year. Never lost a single one :)

thanks!

Howdy :welcome So happy to have you join our family :thumbsup

Glad you're here !

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/) and (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...essential-supplies-and-how-to-use-them.64830/)
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!

One last thing, if you're into gardening, feel free to join this years SEED SWAP (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/seed-swap.1220129/)
 
G'Day from down under rritter90 :frowWelcome!

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.

BYC has Topic of the Week discussions which I have found to be a great resource, informative and sometimes entertaining; so definitely worth checking out.

If you would like to share Pictures and Stories of your flock or other critters, 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 ;)

Including your general location on your profile will assist others. Location, climate, season etc can be important factors when members are responding to any questions you may have and vice versa.
