Introduction

[lluxate]

Good evening everyone, my name is Carter. I am fairly new to raising my own chickens, though I helped my grandmother a lot when I was younger. I have ambitions to own a farm one day and that long arduous journey is going to begin with chickens. I have always loved hatching chickens in the spring and watching them grow. So in the next few months I will be moving to a place more accessible to the homestead lifestyle and building my own coop. If anyone has any tips or resources for me to go over I would appreciate it greatly!
