Hi, everyone! BEAUTIFUL sunny day here in Maine! We are expecting our chicks to arrive in a few weeks (I cannot wait!) - it's a mixed variety of layers (I won't know which breeds until we get them and probably not until they are a little older). I ordered 18. We have a wonderful shed that needs...

Sorry for the lame title!! :wee I am about to be a first-time chicken owner (I am SO excited!) and plan to eventually allow them to free range during the day. We live on sixty (!) gorgeous acres of field, woods, and river. It's the eventual plan to let them free range - not immediate - we are...
