Just joined today. I've started my research to eventually get my first pair of chickens and coop.

So glad you've joined us! This is definitely a great place to start building your knowledge and prepare for the adventure of chicken keeping. The Learning Center here at BYC is packed with great articles - and the forums are a great place to get your questions answered.

What breed of chickens are you considering?

It's nice to have you here!

Glad you joined the flock!
What breed of chickens are you getting? If undecided, I strongly suggest Silkies - you won't regret it

 

[crazypitbullmom]

Silkies are plentiful around here and they are lovely. Haven't decided yet. Am in need of a coop before I make my decision.

Welcome to BYC. Are you thinking of layers, meat birds, pets, show or lawn decorations?

 

[crazypitbullmom]

Layers. My dogs chase everything so can't free range and I'm not allowed to butcher on my property.

I highly recommend checking out all the coops and advice here on BYC. We built our coop with little research and luckily it is perfect, but I don't suggest doing as we did with little research. Some people have not had such good experience on building a coop without much research.

For layers, Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, the Sex Link varieties, Orpingtons, and Leghorns are among some of the best layers.

Good to know thank you!
