I'm Lyn and I live in rural mid-state Alabama. I am very interested in raising chickens and am currently doing a lot of research. This looks like a great place to help figure out how to go about it.
Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided to join our flock. A good place to start is our Learning Center at https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your flock.
Hi Lyn. I'm new too and LOVE my chickens! I've learned so much on BYC -- before I even got my chicks I read thru here quite a lot.... you can type in any topic in the search window at the top and read thru hundreds of entries from the experts here on BYC. You will get lots of real hands-on, tried & true information. Good idea to learn all you can -- about coops, for example -- before you build. . . . about brooders, feeders, breeds, etc. Welcome to BYC!
So glad you could join our community! Definitely stop by our learning center. Lots of great tips and hints on getting started and raising your birds. Michael has left you with the link.
Enjoy this new adventure you are on and welcome to our flock!
