I live in NC and while we are in our mid and late 60’s, we have begun a little homesteading! Are we crazy?? we have had a garden for several years but are adding chickens this year! We have 13 in a brooder tank in our all purpose room inside our home. We are in the process of building a rather complex coop, which won’t be ready by the time these babies are ready, so we will have to improvise! I will need lots of help and advice from you seasoned chicken veterans! If you have any advice for me as a chicken newbie, fire away!!
I look forward to meeting and chatting with you!

Howdy fellow Tarheeler! I'm in Pitt County, east of Raleigh.

I'm 62, and raising chicks again after some 30 odd years. And I have learned so much in the last few months by using this site, it's incredible.

Where are you? Location matters so answers to your and suggestions can be based upon the climate. Here we're hot and steamy in the summer, only an occasional snowfall in the winter. I built a hoop coop mostly by myself.

What types of chicks did you get?

Show pictures!
