Hi! My name is Brandi. I am just getting started raising chickens for eggs. I currently have 10 chicks. I came upon this site while researching better ways to take care of my chickens, so if I'm doing something wrong please let me know. I want my chickens to be as healthy and happy as possible. Thanks!

Ask away! The learning center has a lot of help and then the forum categories are great for individual questions.

Brooder and coop sections are perfect for the beginning
