Getting my first chicks tomorrow!

[Lancsgs]

Hello, my name is Laura and I am new to the Chicken world but have done tons of research! I plan on purchasing 4 Ameraucana pullets tomorrow. They will be used for their eggs. My girlfriend and I are trying to eat more from the land and since moving to our 1 acre property in Choctaw, OK we have been planing on researching gardening and of course having our own chickens. We chose to have four since we eat about 4 eggs a day and the Ameraucana for their rainbow of color eggs. I'm excited for the 18 weeks to be over to be able to harvest the eggs! Please if you have any tips feel free to send them my way!

Hi and

Good luck with your chickens - 'homegrown' eggs are very tasty.

Congrats on your new chicks! Being more self reliant is always a great way to live and also a healthier lifestyle for the body and mind.
