Thread Starter 

Hi all -

 

I'm in my second year of raising a small flock on my grandparent's farmette. I rehabbed their coop last spring and added 25 birds.

 

Next weekend I'm happy to be getting my second order of chicks.

 

I've used this forum in the past and it was a great resource! Much love!

 

I added a few pics of the coop and the ladies. After the temp gets past 18 degrees I'll add more pics.
