Completely new to chickens. There is so much to learn!
I like the idea of knowing where my food comes from, and if some sort of strange emergency happens in our crazy world, it seems like a good idea to learn how to grow our own food, etc. So that's part of how I got here.
I got some Barred Rock chicks a few weeks ago which I'm learning how to take care of. I sometimes alternate between being excited about having chickens, to being in awe of how joyous they can be - when they first wake up in the morning or when they are eating or get to visit outside for the first time, or when they snuggle in your arms when you pick them up, etc. - to feeling overwhelmed with some particular setup task or puzzle.
I do have some questions but I guess I will post one of them in a separate thread.
P.S. This website does seem better than reddit, if I'm allowed to say that! Thank you for having me.
