Hi Everyone! My family & I are excited to begin learning about this new adventure of raising chickens. We have 29 chicks of various breeds awaiting to be delivered. We just moved to the country and need to set up a coop.

Welcome!

As you have already received links to some good starting points, I will just wish you all the best.

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.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock when they arrive, 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
