Hello - first time chicken tender here!

[Mrsyoung2018]

Hello! I am a first time backyard chicken tender from Maine. My first flock is 2 Rhode Island reds and 2 barred rocks. I have 1.5 acres they will eventually free range on and hopefully will add more chickens as time goes (started with a smaller coop but also had 2 chicks die in transient )

I have already learned much but there are so many questions that come up as I go so I am excited to be part of this forum.

I live with my husband and two cats as well.

Hello and welcome to BYC! With all the wild things in the forests of Maine, I would be concerned about free ranging. But that's your choice. Best of luck with your wee flock.
