    The time has come

    Hi All, I've been considering getting my own chickens for a some time and have been lurking here for a while. So much valuable information, I can't thank you enough. Seeing how excited my fiance and our combined family was at the idea, we bit the bullet and got 5 Black Australorp chicks...
