Hi Everyone! My name is Shannon i am a 45 year old happily married Mother of four children from ages 29 to 11, 3 girls and 1 boy. I have been a Daycare provider for many years and about a year ago i had to stop working because of Major back problems that i have had since i was 18 years old. We have four Sulcata tortoises and no other pets. My 11 year old Daughter is highly allergic to Dogs and cats. I am a Huge animal lover and did do Dog rescue for many years until she was born. Once our dog passed away at age 14 was when we realized her allergies. We took her to the allergist at age 3 and she was tested and now we know she is allergic to most everything. She is also a self induced Vegetarian and has not had meat in 5 years. So she is my high matinence one :-)

I am very new to chickens! I have only had two in my life and it was a foster situation about 8 years ago We had two chickens for about a month when they were only a week old. We kept mostly inside and let them out supervised. They ended up at a local farm here and had a wonderful life! We are looking to get two chickens. I have not decided on a breed yet , i am doing as much research as i can before i take the next step. That is what led me to BackyardChickens. I want to know everything i can before designing their coop and getting the chickens. I appreciate this site and just know i am going to find lots of information here! Thank you all!!
 
Hi Shannon and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us

Here’s a link to the Articles section - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/ There you’ll find lots of information on almost every aspect of keeping chickens - from coop building ideas, to incubating eggs (and breeds).

There’s a link on the page above to the Learning Centre - it’s a great resource. If you have a specific topic in mind, just type it in the search box - there's a wealth of information on past and present threads.

Each week, various topics are discussed, which can also be a great resource - https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/topic-of-the-week-thread-archive
