    New from northern burbs of Chicago

    Sorry for the incomplete post, using my phone. Picked up a Barred Rock and New Hampshire at the local Farm&Fleet about 8 weeks ago. Learned a lot from the site during the past 8 weeks. Picked up many great ideas for my coop and run. Will post some pics in later posts. Thanks for the welcome
