Hey there, I found this site when I was trying to learn if having chickens was right for me. After reading several threads I decided to give it a go. I picked up four chicks on Friday (Lavender Orpington, Easter Egger, and 2 Barn Velders) and have them in a brooder in the dining area of my kitchen. So far so good, cleaned my first vent today, and no Pasty butt for my girls. The LO is the biggest crier, the rest just cheep along, she's also the one that I had to clean, so for now, she's my high-maintenance girl. My coop comes on Monday, so I'll have plenty of time to critter-proof the run that surrounds it. I'm an avid gardener and sell tinctures and tonics at Farmers Markets. Anyway, glad to be here and learn about chickens.

Welcome to BYC!!

Welcome. I wish I could tell you that their personalities change when they get to be adults - but, they don't. My high maintenance chicks are high maintenance adults.

Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies! I always check in the "What's New" section as well at the top of this page. This way I can read how I may have a similar question or help give some advice.
