Hi, everyone!
I'm new to the chicken-keeping life, but I'm super excited to get started. Our new (to us) home has a chicken coop on the property, so my husband and I have cleaned it out and are in the process of making sure it's secure and building a run. We're planning on ordering three Buff Orpington chicks from a hatchery in the spring. From my poking around the forum here, it seems like a lot of people start with day-old chicks--are there downsides to a complete newbie (e.g. me!) starting with four-week-old chicks?
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!
