Hello to all!!  jumpy.gif

 

We are a family of 4 (+3 pooches) and new to the chicken community!!! We got our first set of chicks (6 of them) about a week ago....unfortunately we lost 3 within the first 2 days but we have 3 still very happy and healthy!!! Skidder, Lady and Lil' Bit are daddy's girls for sure, so you'll be seeing him here more than any of us, I'm sure...  lol We have been doing a lot of research as we've never kept hens before, when we came across backyardchickens.com we just knew we had to join the community!! Lots of good info and lots of good people!

 

Any advice or tips for us are very much more than welcome as have never done this before!!!  Thanks!!

This place is really amazing. I am learning so much on here. Definitely a lifesaver with chickens. Welcome to the site! I think you will find chickens get addicting pretty fast. I started out with four last summer.... I now have 38. idunno.gifWhat to do?
