Thank you all for the greetings. I can't believe it's only been a month since joining. Last weekend we finished painting our newly constructed chicken coop (about 80% reused materials). Then, yesterday, I purchased 4 pullets from a member I met in the Middle TN thread.
Not 30 minutes after getting home, we had our first egg!
Learning on BYC definitely made it easy for me to gather good information.
Thanks again!
