    Chickens are coming, chickens are coming....

    We, John and Jeanie, are about to start our new life with chickens. Not had chickens before. Coop is under construction. Pullets are being raised. Reading everything I can absorb about care and feeding. Fortunately have a friend with years of experience. Looking forward to reading members comments.
