We are new chicken keepers having recently adopted 6 ex battery hens who were on the way to the slaughter house. They make few demands on us apart from food and shelter, and we have enjoyed our time with them watching their comical carry ons. They lay a few eggs a day and we get enough to give away to family and friends. We are pleased to have found this site because we do need help.
 
Greetings and welcome to BYC! So glad you joined us. Thanks for being a good person and rescuing those X-Battery hens. :clap I'm sure hey are enjoying life much better now. There's a wealth of info, knowledge and experience shared in the multitude of threads. Browse around and see what interesting stuff you can find. By all means post away when the desire strikes you, especially if you have questions (provide as much detail/info as possible and pictures truly help)... With all the great folks here, generally someone will respond in no time at all. Please make yourself at home!

Oh, if you haven't done so already, PLEASE put at least your general location in your profile. It could be very important if/when you ask for or offer help or advice. You know, climate issues and such. I recommend at least your state as most folks won't be able to figure out where if you put anything more specific (county, town, street, etc) by itself. Old folks like me :old will never remember & look there first. To add it, mouse hover over Account top right and a drop down will appear. Click on Personal Details and scan down. You'll see the spot for Location. Then go to the bottom and save changes. Thanks! Hope you enjoy the site!

G’Day from down under chickensuk :frow Welcome!

Kudos to you for giving the girls a second chance at a good and happy life :clap

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.

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 ;)
