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

Welcome to the coop here at BYC

Welcome from New Orleans, Fran, lots of friendly and informed people here. Ask away if you have questions as we tend to be very non judgemental as well. Glad to have you, jump in and enjoy the fun.

Hello Fran and welcome to BYC!

You certainly have come to the right place for all the fun and learning! So pull up a roost bar and ask any questions you may have. Welcome to our community!

I have Cinnamon Queens, Plymouth Rock, Silver Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red, think it’s a Black Star and two of them are black with rust feathers around the neck area. Not sure on the Black Star and other two.

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!

Yes. I asked my Facebook group about first aid kits. It’s cold and the toes are cold. I wrote down everything posted from other group. I do have a hen in crate treating it for Wry neck. I think anyways.
