Havent got our chicks yet still doing our homework. We are so excited cant wait to get started. I had chickens growing up but back then it was just on my list of daily chores and didnt really get excited about the thought of that. But I didnt like pulling weeds in the garden back then either but now you cant keep me out of their LOL:) Funny how you get older and that happens. Anyway finding lots of great info here. Am thrilled to find alot of what I'm looking for in one place.

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens
