Not a spring chicken - starting a flock

[Quailobsessed]

Welcome to BYC. Hope you can start that flock this year! You'll get plenty of help here on the forum. Good luck!

Hi all! I found this site through a youtube comment. It has been MANY years since I've been a member of a forum (old BBS anyone?).

But it looks like all the info I'll need is right here, phew! I've got lots of reading to do! My husband and I bought our house a few years ago with the hopes of raising our own food. We think 2020 is our year to finally start - with chickens. I'm here to find out if the space we have is going to work or if we need to rethink our design before we start building. I'm eager to get started but also don't want to rush into anything, the main objective is a healthy and happy flock!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting new folks and learning all about this chicken-keeping thing!

You are most heartily welcome!!! I am rather new to BYCs myself but I have learned tons just lurking on this site. It sounds like a great adventure that you and your husband are beginning!! What fun! I'm sure you will enjoy this wonderful, supportive community and we are so excited that you've joined!

Hi! Welcome to BYC! Have you been to the learning center yet? That's a great place to start. I would definitely take a look at some of the coop set ups on here. Also, you can just post what you have going on in a new thread under Coop Design and you'll get lots of suggestions.
