Hello. I just inherited a herd pack fleet armada army of chickens from my grandfather. He loved these things. After his passing, I decided to take over raising them. He tried his best to teach me what he could about them but I just wasn't around enough to learn. So found this group and will be annoying everyone for any info on what to do and what not to do. Educate me as you would a child. I don't want to lose these chickens due to stupid mistakes i may make. Thank you very much!

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/)
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/)

You are in the frying pan now!

You will get a rhythm going for raising them. It does not have to be the same as anyone else.

I am sorry for the loss of your Grand Father
 
G’Day from down under Te heihei :frow Welcome!

My condolences on the passing of your grandfather :(

I do 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.

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

You might want to also Find Your State Thread and pop in and say hello.

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, 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 ;)
