Hello from Old "Newbie"

[mrslevite]

I'm an old "newbie." My parents always had chickens when I was growing up, but I'm now in my mid-sixties and haven't taken care of chickens since my teens. So, what, 50 years? Now I'm a new chicken mom to 6 baby chicks. It seems things have changed since then. I keep reading about chickens having problems that I've never heard of. All the chickens when I was growing up were pretty healthy. Anyway, I want to read and learn as much as possible. I look forward to my new adventure!

Hi, welcome back to raising chickens! The Learning Center might be of interest to you, it covers a wide variety of topics: Learning Center articles And of course you can always ask questions whenever you need to. Best wishes!

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. This is a great place to explore and hang out. That is just how I started back to chickens also.

Welcome - I'm a newbie, too, and although I lived on a farm growing up, we didn't have chickens (Just cows and pigs). But here I am in my 60's starting this adventure! Post a picture of your babies!

Thanks for all the "Welcomes"! I'm enjoying looking around BYC. And trying to stop bothering the babies too much!
