Newbie to group, joining to educate myself on good sense chicken care and preventative medicine.

Hi, I joined chicken group on Facebook and this is a recommended link. I have had a couple problems that maybe could have been prevented or treated quicker having the need to know what to keep on hand. Also, like to see coup designs and different breed pictures. Love my rat pack! Fran

Hi Fran, it's nice to have you here! What breeds of chickens are you raising? Feel free to share a photo if you'd like!

I need to figure out how to navigate this site. If you see duplicates, whatever.... ignore I’ll get it sooner or later. LOL

Glad you're here Fran!

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise.
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. Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!

One last thing, please get your chickens some Vaseline or bag balm to stave off frostbite before they get it! Baby, it's cold outside!
