Any experts on here that want to help me out.

New to the forum from Southern Michigan. We recently adopted 3 hens (not sure what breed they are) and are enjoying our eggs. We are looking forward to getting some chicks in the spring to add to our little flock. Thanks for running this website, I am sure it will come in useful.
