First time chicken parent

[scratch32]

We got two chicks at the feed store for our daughter. I started Googling information about chickens and after checking with code compliance I decided to build a pen with a coop. Then I got really attached to the chickens and decided to get them another friend I plan on getting two more so we will have 5 chickens soon with a pretty nice coop.

Congrats on the new additions to the family! My wife and I are almost a year into raising chickens. Started out with 3 1.5 year old egg birds so we had a dozen our 2 weeks in. Since then we started baby chicks 2 months ago and love it. Have 2 coops now and absolutely consider all of our birds family. We have lost 2, one from our newest dog and one straight from the tsc. Definitely recommend reading as much as you can because they are living creatures and require love. Good luck on your journey

How do I add a profile picture?

On the upper right corner there should be a 'My Profile' button, click it. Then on the left of the new page under your name there should be your blank photo and under that you click 'replace avatar' and upload the picture you want. Hope that helped
