Excited to get started. Have been trolling for a while.

Hello,

My name is Jamie from SE Michigan. I'm excited to be joining this group. Just got our first batch of ISA Brown's today. 11 total, 6 of which we're brooding for a friend. I also have ordered 2 Araucana-Americauna mixes and 1 each of silver lace and gold lace Wyandotte's from Townline Hatchery out of Zeeland, MI. They're currently housed in a 100 gallon metal feed trough with a double heat lamp. We'll be building a 6 x 10 run for them on the side of our garage with the actual coop area being inside of the back portion of our garage. Thanks to everyone for all the posts and information. I've learned a lot in the last week or so.

My little guy Stew says, "this is the best pet ever!"

Because apparently a brick makes a good pillow.

Jamie, Welcome to Backyard chickens. Wow, that is a big brooder, should hold them for quite awhile. Your son is right, best pet ever.

So glad you have joined us and congrats on getting your own flock. They are so cute.

IMO, Stew is right, they are the best pets ever!

A coop in the garage with outdoor run will be wonderful for all. Would love to see pics when you get it all done.
