Right now I have 15 chickens. They are...

    Newbie here.

    Hello. My name is Stephanie, and I am brand new to raising chickens and BYC. I don't even have any chicks yet. I was interested in getting my son into 4H and have him show chickens as he was helping his Grandpa raise chickens at their house, then my in-laws rehomed their flock. So, instead of my...

    I recognize that the template for this is 16 years old, but it still seems to be promoted, so here goes. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I received my first chickens when I was about 13 years old. That was about 40 years ago. It was an upside down trio of...

    Looking forward to getting started and talking with educated people.

    Hello, I live in WA state and I’m sure everyone knows how prices are, not just here but all do the nation I’m sure. I’ve thought about getting into this Hobby/lifestyle since I have moved out of my parents, mostly due to the fact I come from small to moderate farm life. I have helped my family...

    Mother hen, her babies, and new hatchlings.

    Hello. I’ve been a chicken keeper for a few years now. But I have a question as I haven’t done this part before. I have a hen who went broody. She was sitting on a few eggs and I left her to it. A week or so ago I’m guessing some of my other hens left eggs in her box when she was out eating...

    How to introduce sizzles to a standard-sized majority flock?

    About a week ago, I hatched 3 silkie-frizzle hybrids! They are super adorable, and I can't wait till they can leave the brooder. Somehow I was dumb enough to never consider that these guys might be picked on for their size when they join the flock. I've introduced newbies before, put them in a...

    Thank you for welcoming me into the chicken community!

    I rescued 3 hens 6 months ago (2 recently passed in the last 2 months) and since then, we’ve added 3 new chicks to the flock (so now have a total of 4 chickens!) and we also have 2 rescued ducks. I am excited to learn more. ❤️ Here’s a peek at some of my lovelies!
