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. ☺
