Miss Peeps
In the Brooder
So far I am loving all the information, suggestions and feedback that I have found here. The amount of member support here IS off the charts! Without even engaging in a thread or conversation, I already feel welcome and part of the group!
I am the proud keeper of 10 chicks (so far). I have four Dominques, one Maran, one Black Sexlink, Two Rhode Island Red's, one Ameraucana and one Buff Orpington. My desire to be the best possible caregiver to my new chicks has brought me to BYC and I have only scratched the surface (pun intended) of all the info packed into this website. My chicks range between 4 days and 1 week old. They all get along fine and are a crack up as they run laps around the plastic tub trying to snatch dried mealworms from one another!
My teenage sons and my husband will be building a coop and run for the Peep Squad (or Diablo Peeps, not too sure yet what I am going to name the flock). We live in Concord, CA in the foothills at the base of Mt Diablo so "Diablo" Peeps seems appropriate to me. However, I do like Peep Squad and Meat the Flocker's.
I don't think I have it in me to use our chickens for anything other than eggs but ya never know what will happen down the road.
I will do my best to find my way around BYC and get the answers to some of my questions but I like to chat and socialize, so if something has already been answered somewhere else and I missed it, please be kind enough to guide me to the already asked question. =)
