Greetings from Kansas, judinorton, and . Happy you joined our community! What breeds do you have? How many are you planning on adding to your flock? I don't have any specific suggestions but a great place to pick up general chicken knowledge is the Learning Center here https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center
If you'd like to chat with locals, you can locate on the NV thread in this link

Welcome to Backyard chickens. I'm guessing it's really hot where you live. It's frio, where I'm at - we should be having our first frost very soon.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome!! My small flock (if you can call 2 chickens a flock!) consist of a snarky white leghorn and a very talkative black (I don't know her breed) rescue hen. I'll be getting at least 2 more hens in a couple of weeks hopefully!! I live in a rural city in Nevada, but I live within the city limits so I can't have any roosters which is actually fine with me! I'll start at the learning center and if I have any questions, I'll be sure and ask! I do have one concern: my rescue chicken was left all alone for a long time and she is very broody. I'm keeping her separated from my leghorn for a while. Am I doing the right thing? They can see each other but they are separated. Once again, thanks for the warm welcome and any help is greatly appreciated!!
