Hello from NC

Hi!
I am looking to learn as much as possible about having pet chickens. I currently have none, but have wanted them for years. Finally this next spring I have my husband's go to buy some. I'm very excited. I have 2 little girls who have wanted to raise chicks for at least 3 years now. I can't wait to learn from all the knowledgable people on here!
