    *raises coffee cup in greeting*

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I’m very new! Ha! I’m still doing some research, but I’m juuuust about ready to take the leap (2) How many chickens do you have right now? Zero. Plenty in my head though (3) What breeds do you have? I’m looking at Easter eggers...
