New to the world of chickens

[BritG]

Hi! First I must say that this website/community has been the most helpful resource for someone new to chickens!

I am scheduled to pick up my first two chickens Saturday.
12 week old Speckled Sussex pullets and I am thrilled.
I have wanted a Speckled Sussex for years and am finally taking the plunge!

I am only allowed 2 hens in my county but hope to one day move away from the city so that I can increase my flock size

Happy to be here!!

Hi there! Welcome to BYC!
Your hens are adorable!

That’s sad they only allow 2 hens.
Have a nice day!

Welcome to BYC!
I love my SS, so friendly and pretty light brown eggs. Mine is a songster. You won’t be disappointed.​
