Hello All:

I am a new member to homesteading and backyard chickens; living in Eastern PA. I bought my first set of chicks in June and received them on August 16th 2022. I have a total of 6 chickens; 2 WHITE Rocks, 2 Rhode Island REDs, and 2 BLACK Australorps. I built a 6 x 6 foot coop and a 6 x 8 foot run for them. I named them all; Eggnog, Magic, Paprika, George, Bart and Maple. They are friendly enough that they come to me and jump on to my lap or shoulder. I enjoy them a lot and hopefully I start seeing eggs by the end of November. I am really enjoying the community. Thanks!

I am attaching some photos of the Coop and Run.

Cheers,
Bladester
