First time chicken mom

[Erikalpowers]

Hi everyone! My name is Erika and I have started my first flock! I have 2 silver laced wyandotte, 2 australorps, 2 light brahma and 1 leghorn. All hens. They are between 1-2 weeks old now and my husband and I are starting coop building this weekend. We are going to free range for the most part but their coop will have a run as well. Any advice is welcome!! I'm in love with them already!

Hi, Erika, and welcome to BYC. Good luck with your flock. A coop/run combination is essential for when predation occurs.
