Hi,
We gave my daughter 2 australorp chicks (a blue australorp, and a splash australorp) as a belated Christmas present. They are almost 3 weeks old. They are part of our family already.

This is our first experience of having chickens - we look forward to learning lots so we can take care of our beautiful birds.

We’re in Australia!

Belinda.

Hi Belinda and welcome to BYC and congrats on your littles :)

Here’s a link to the Articles section - https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/ There you’ll find lots of information on almost every aspect of keeping chickens - from coop building ideas, to incubating eggs.

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-archive

Here's a link to your country thread - https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/australia-six-states-and-that-funny-little-island.598568/

Hey there Welcome to Backyard Chickens
 
G’Day from Far North Queensland Belinda :frow Welcome!

Aaaw, there are adorable!!

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

If you would like to share more Pictures and Stories of your little ones, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out ;)
