Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies!
Glad to meet you, and welcome to BYC. Are you in CT? The Valley covers a LOT of territory. What a nice bunch of hens you have to start your flock! Hello from a fellow New Englander, and best wishes!
