Hi! from Pa

Thread Starter 

Hello! I'm from Greensburg, Pa and I'm new to chickens.  In fact my boyfriend and I just ordered our first 25 last night. 
We're into them as egg-laying, fertilizer-making, walking dinner. 
I'm really excited to be apart of the forum, I've been reading them for awhile and I finally decided to join.

Glad to have you here!  frow

You're going to love your new chickens.  Have you built them a coop yet (if not, there are some awesome plans here!)?

Hi, kitchwitch!  And welcome-byc

25 coming soon!  How exciting! celebrate

I'll echo what ChickenLady suggested - Check out the coop designs!  They are fabulous! And there are some hepful sections related to raising baby chicks - what you need to have on hand for them when they arrive, and all that! 

Great to have you on board!
