Hello all I look forward to reading posts to educated myself on how properly and humanly raise chickens for eggs and possibly butcher. I am from fargo and have no clue what I am doing. I just joined and trying to gather a lot of information before I dive into this so I can prevent dumb mistakes so chickens wont have to die cause of my ignorance. Any info would be great. I literally have nothing so far besides a book I ordered off of amazon. I am an electrician so wiring heat in the winter time wont be a problem. that's about the only problem I have solved lol.

Welcome!

As you have already received some good advice and links, 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. Unlike non chicken loving friends, family and colleagues, BYC’ers never tire of stories or pictures that feature our feathered and non feathered friends
