Thread Starter 

Hi to all on back yard chickens, we are Shelly & Keith and are new to having chickens. At the moment we have 3 hens about 20 weeks old, we have had them for about 2 weeks. Amazed already how readily they have become part of our family. We also have 3 baby chicks given to us by our boss! 

We built our coop and run on a budget, getting wood from a building site. Keith spent many weeks constructing it all and I think its great. Will post some pictures soon.

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?
