Getting my first chickens

[ZooAtHome]

Hello! I'm in the process of building my first coop and run for my very first egg-layers. I'm so excited and eagerly gobbling up any and all info I can find on the subject. Really looking forward to talking chickens with other folks, especially those with some experience to share. Thanks for having me here!
