heya!!

haven't got my birbs yet - just bought a home with my partner and excited to learn as much as possible before taking the plunge!

i've wanted chickens for a while but always renting made it impossible.

our yard has 4+ acres and i am thrilled to someday grow snacks for my chimkins and have their aid at making amazing compost for my veggies!!

ASMR for me is hearing ladies squeal for yummy treats.

i love easter eggers as they all seem to be unique individuals, which will be helpful for a beginner in differentiating between siblings.

laced wyandottes are gorgeous, silkies are hilarious, and i will be happy with any and all chickies that come my way!

our plan is to convert one of the outbuildings that is currently a woodshed into a coop. it's on a concrete foundation which i think will be help against predators, already has windows & a winterized door, and has nice space for a sunny run in front and a treed run in back. planning on having a large run with multiple compost bays as well as some ranging time around the garden beds in spring and fruit trees in summer! deep litter strikes me as a convenient option and our roost will be right next to the door.

looking forward to filling my brain with birb things!

Be sure to brush up on chicken math so you know what to expect 😂

Also since you've moved to a new place with lots of property, and you want to grow chicken snacks, check out the gardening threads and such. This site is such a wealth of information!
Beware, this is an addicting place to be. I spent practically all day on here yesterday 😬
