Hello from Alberta

[ABChicks]

Hi All!

I just spent the last couple of days reading the 'show your coop' thread and figured I'd say hi! We live just outside of Cochrane AB (moving into the new house soon) and are excited to be building our first chicken coop and getting some layers. Once we have that down we're hoping to have some meat birds as well. I've always wanted to have a bit of a farm experience and can't wait to get the kids out collecting chicken eggs in the morning!

Kim.

Welcome to BYC!

Chickens are so rewarding and fun to keep. And finding those eggs never gets old, even years later.

If you need some tips and hints on raising your new flock, stop by our learning center here on BYC for lots of good reads on all the aspects of keeping poultry...

We also have a lot of Canadians here on BYC that you might like to chat with to see how they deal with the environment and other things....
