Hello from Central Mississippi

[gmabry75]

Hi all, new member from central MS. Currently impatiently waiting for my chicks, which should arrive Wednesday. I have 25 BR coming from Ideal. This will be my first experience with chickens. I have their brooder ready and waiting and have been working on the coop and run. Figure I have 6-8 weeks to get it right. Anyway, I have been reading tons on this site. Sure I will have some questions, but have already learned a LOT from this site. Wish me luck, Greg.

Their here!! All alive and active with the exception of one who has something wrong with its right leg. Gonna get a good look at it when I get another pair of hands here to help.

Oh no, what is wrong with it's leg? If it's injured you should post in the Emergencies / Diseases / Injuries and Cures section, if it's a skeletal problem we've got some stuff on chick orthopaedics:
