Hello, I am a newbie to all of this! I moved from Chicago not long ago and ended up in the country. And what better to do with a new farmhouse and 5 acres? Get chicks! (and I, oops, got two turkeys too because they were just so sweet and I have worked with turkeys before. I told my DH after I got home...) So any advice is well welcome. I am working on the coop while the chicks grow up a little and get ready for outside. Any advice on coop must have/have nots? I may not be able to have electricity in the coop for a couple of months. Problems arising from that? I have done a lot of research but nothing like hearing from the folks that do it all themselves. Oh, one more thing... is it terrible killing and eating the first one? I am worried. BJ (DH) says he wouldn't have a problem doing it, but I just don't know! You spend time with them and love them and talk to them, and then...
Thanks all! Anni
