In 2019, 2020, and 2021 we spread the Christmas Spirit all over the BackyardChickens site and beyond! Are you ready for year four? Starting on the 14th of December, do as many acts of service as you can! Take a look at my daily suggestions below. There are no rules, only guidelines, so you can...

I just really wanted to say a huge thank you to the Creators, Moderators and users of Backyard chickens. I joined last year, I think November time, and knew very little. Since then I have started my duck keeping jouney and continue to ask ever so many questions and worries that I have...

I dropped facebook in 2012 and now I am dropping instagram. I feel better when I am not on social media. It is 100% just my own personal thought and feeling. I am trying to convince myself that BYC is an educational site and not social media, so I should keep it :woot What do you think?

I will be leaving BYC. I thought I should say bye instead of disappearing :p. Bye, friends!! :hugs

Do you want a custom avatar or banner for BYC? I designed my avatar and banner and @chickentrains avatar. :) 🐓

Constantly finding yourself trying to use BYC emojis elsewhere!? Cause I am. Like... I’ll be on Facebook or Twitter or texting someone and I will literally type out : lau or : love (without the spaces of course). Or I’ll be wanting to use this one :ep or this one :hide because 😱 or 🙈 just...

Hi. Recently, I started an account on backyard herds. I have already noticed that I like BYC better. Here are my reasons: 1) Colors- BYC is blue and colorful, while BYH is brown 2) Not confusing- The different types of forums have different drawings, unlike BYH which just has cows 3) Maybe...

Hi there! I am soo glad that I have finally joined BYC. I have used valuable information off of BYC for over 3 years for my wildlife rescue center in South Africa. I take in wild bird’s eggs all the time and need advice on homemade incubators and hatching eggs every now and again. I also want to...

Is it just me, or has there been a significant increase of new threads and new members? Or is it just chick-season traffic? Either way, I'm so happy that new people are finding both BYC and chickens! Hopefully most of these new members stick around! :welcome:celebrate

In the past few days I've come to realize how much BYC (BackYardChickens) is like a flock of chickens. The BYC Staff Members are like the human owners. They spend time and effort into working here to improve and upgrade the "coop". They provide a safe, knowledge stuffed, family friendly website...

We have a Muscovy mother duck and we dont know what is recommended for her to eat but with the help of this beautiful People we will Discover Thanks!!

Sometimes I will remember a thread or article that was featured a few days ago, and want to read it again, but can never find it. :barnie Is there a way that someone could keep an article up and running with links to all the featured threads/articles from the home page so that people can find...

Hi, I’ve been a fan of sites like BYC for a long time and have learned a lot from them! I have a lot of ducks, chickens, and other animals too! I have a ton of different breeds and enjoy showing chickens too! Like many, I have had many struggles with predators, efficient feeding solutions, and...

I have a bunch of roos and hens most of my roos grew up together and 5 are brothers I was going through old photos today and noticed something odd about my rooster brownie which him and his brother fought an owl an lived with minor scratches The fight happens at night in the pitch dark and...

Hello! I left for a little bit but came back. I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Emma (not my real name, I don't believe I'm allowed to say my real name), I live in California, and I have two chickens. Hazel, my 9-month-old Golden Laced Wyandotte hen, and Hope, my year old White Plymouth Rock...

I am going to build a chicken coop, something with inspiration from this, and then place it in my backyard to keep my 3 chickens. My problem is, I have a decent size backyard, but most of it is used up. I have attached a file that gives a very vague visualisation of my backyard. I have no idea...

A few hours ago, I created a poll On what I should Name our first chicken. And The poll closed and the results where in. The chickens name is dixie! But now, We are naming The second chicken!

Ever since I joined (a month ago :lol:) everybody has been so nice and helpful! This really is an awesome place to meet kind people, and especially get help fast! Now there's a lot of things AMAZING about BYC and I'm thankful for this website, and the people who use it. What are you thankful...
