Hello from MA!

[owlsayshoo]

Hey all! I'm brand new to the chicken world but I'm jumping in with both feet. We currently have 6 two week old RIRs and we're picking up 2 black australorps this afternoon. Our coop is being built as we speak and should be ready in about three weeks, and we're finalizing plans for a run (which we're building ourselves). I'm a little overwhelmed with all I need to learn, but I couldn't be more excited!

I have RIR too! They are a great breed! Good luck with them and your Australorps!
