In the Brooder
I have wanted chickens for years and finally got my first coop. I have spent the past several weeks researching coops, feed, chicken health, breeds, etc. My coop and pen should be ready for my first group of girls next week. Obviously, I am nervous that I will make mistakes because I am new to raising chickens. How do you advise I start my first flock - with chicks, adult hens, or somewhere in between. Also, I have fallen in love with the Buff Brahmas during my research - is this a breed I should start with, or is there another breed that is better as starters for a novice? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated-Thanks so much!!
