Hello! I am Missy from TN, and have been hoping to raise chicken for some time now. We are going to try a startup this Spring and figured this would be the place to refine my knowledge bank...thanks for welcoming me in

Plan your coop, visit our knowledge center under the articles section. Make yourself right at home! aaaaand most importantly.......ask questions, post pictures and don't be shy! We all love to learn from each others mistakes, failures and successes.

Glad you're here Missy ! We're practically neighbors!!!

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/)
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. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!

Welcome to BYC. Start watching for building materials on sale or Craig's list/5 mile, if you know someone building or remodeling see if they have anything you can save from going into the trash. Building a coop doesn't have to be expensive.
Make sure to add your location to your profile, it will then show up under your avatar when you post.
Everyone here would like to see you be successful in raising your flock. The first step to success is Knowledge! Your at the right place!
