Hello all! My name is Stephanie and I have just started raising my first urban flock in Charlotte, NC! I have six 2.5-week-old chicks (purchased straight run from a local farm): 2 australorp, 1 polish, and what i was told are an araucana and two comets (although I have my doubts about the their breeds, will post pics soon to see what y'all think). Hoping to get at least three pullets in the bunch, roos will be returning to the farm (not allowed in my neighborhood). I am in the process of building a coop using the garden ark plans- right now they are guest-bathroom chickens rather than backyard chickens I love this site and am excited to officially be part of the "flock"!
