Hey, my name is Cris and I'm new to this forum, chickens, and everything in-between! We just got 13 mixed breed chicks 5 days ago. A few of them are about a 5-6 days older than the rest. We raised ducks and other game birds as kids, so I got the beginning stage down pretty good. We are currently converting our old ice fishing house into a coop (perfect since it's already insulated with siding) and building a large adjoined closed run. We're also going to build a large open run. We have a lot of hawks, bald eagles, foxes, and other chicken predators around us, so a lot of effort is being put into making our run and coop safe for our flock. I'm sure to have many questions as I get further into this adventure, so I look forward to learning from and meeting y'all : )
