Hi there, I'm Connie. I'm from Guntersville Al. My husband works in Afghanistan and for the time being its just Me, our two year old little boy, Boxer, Cocker spaniel, Mini schnauzer, and 2 chickens! lol I never thought I would have so many kids! I honestly did NOT want to take on chicks until my husband came home, However my son just happened to have won two little chicks at the farm expo in town. Well... I'm the type of person who keeps animals for life. They were living in our large dog kennel until Yesterday! They are right at 8 weeks old. We have a feed store on every corner where I live, and got advice from my sister on what/how to feed them till I could get them a permanent residence. During my many searches of coops, needs, feeds, Feeders, waterers, predator proofing etc. I came across BYC. My husband took the picture and drew me some rough plans. I spent 2 weeks of nap times and Long after my son went to bed at night to build a coop. Acquired several minor injuries and took several trips to buy lumber but I finished! They are two happy little chickens thats for certain! Im still unsure of what sex these little ones are, but they are very friendly and are not at all afraid of my big bad mini schnauzer. I still have a lot to learn, and I am not a fan of only doing something half way.
