Hello! I'm in southern area of Denver proper. I've been on BYC for a while but mostly lurking and learning. But we finally took the plunge about a week ago and got chicks... got tired of waiting for my hubs to finish the coop and figured this way he'll have no other choice b/c I told him if it's not done in 2 mos he's going to have birds roosting in the garage and pooping on his bikes!!
This is our first foray into chickens, so we got a variety of birds to see what we like. So I've got one of each RIR, Blk Austrolorp, Ameraucana, NH Red and Barred Rock and I'm waiting on a Golden Comet and Speckled Sussex that are supposed to be coming in in the next week. I'm also looking for a Delaware, but haven't been able to find 1 locally yet. Does anyone know anyone selling Delawares? There was a guy at the Denver chicken swap last summer selling them but I didn't get his contact info. Hoping next weekend will be nice enough that people come to the swap, we'll be at the limit of age difference and I'm not looking to set up a 2nd brooder.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone.
