Hello All -
My name is Ann, and I'm new here. Two months ago, chickens were not even in our future plans. However, 4 children 9 and under....specifically my 3 and 5 year old little girls, began to bother me for chickens. Meanwhile, friends kept telling us how "easy and fun" chickens are. And finally, last Sunday, a lady from church walked up (without knowing any of the above), and asked if we were interested in having her chicken coop and 9 month old chickens. (She lives in the city and her family was tiring of them.)
She is giving us a Snaplock Formex Chicken Coop, and 7 chickens, watering equipment, and a feeder.
However, outside of that, I'm not sure where to begin!
We live on a couple of acres and could put up fencing as needed. I'm not wanting the chickens to wander the whole yard.
Thanks in advance for any tips! I'm a city girl, and have never had chickens!
