Hi everyone - my name is Shawn Plep and I am new to raising backyard chickens. I live in a suburb next to New Orleans (Gretna actually) and just built a coop. The kids are excited about having pet chickens, I'm excited about having fresh eggs from our backyard.
This site has TONS of great info (I've been lurking here for a while) and everyone's shared knowledge on here has taught me a lot. We seem to have a healthy New Orleans backyard chicken community, so there are a lot of others like me who've been there and done that. That's great because I'll need the help.
Anyway, I just wanted to say HI and introduce myself!
