Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
You're doing everything right so far just by researching and asking questions before you bring your birds home. You'll do fine.

Hi Sarah and welcome to BYC.

On this link you'll find lots of information on almost every aspect of keeping birds - from coop building ideas, to incubating eggs - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/

There’s a link on the page above to the Learning Centre - it’s a great resource. If you have a specific topic in mind, just type it in the search box - there's a wealth of information on past and present threads.

Each week, various topics are discussed, which can also be a great resource - https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/topic-of-the-week-thread-archives

This is a useful link of BYC guides to take a look at announcements-feedback-issues-guides.3 I’d suggest including your location using the guide in that link, if you have not already done so. You can use this link to contact members in your area - Find your State's thread.

Best wishes

What a great way to get started with raising poultry, and smart to do research before your birds arrive. I try to practice some homesteading as well, only in the suburbs... garden beds, compost, fresh eggs! I love it! If you have any specific questions, you can always visit the forum page, choose a category and start a thread.

Don't forget to visit the duck forum!

Thank you so much!!! ☺ I'll definitely check out that duck forum, too! I sometimes get stuck in doing too much research rather than just going for it (abut of a perfectionist at times) lol. So awesome you're doing homestead skills in the suburbs..I did the same thing for quite a while. ☺
