Thank you for taking the time to read this! (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am brand new to chickens and will be getting chicks in March! (2) How many chickens do you have right now? None for now but theyre coming! (3) What breeds do you have? Im going for...

It seems you have a tried and true system, thank you for sharing it.

Hello! I'm looking to buy chicks in RI or MA. We have Tractor Supplies but if I can find an independent hatchery that would be awesome! Don't really have a particular breed in mind maybe something heritage. This will be my first flock.
