Hello from Cincy!!

[hpyhnds71]

I've been creeping on the site for months now and thought I should go ahead and join. We have had 6 hens since late May. We inherited them from my nephews who decided they got too big for them to handle anymore after about 8 wks old. (not to mention they didn't have a coop) I built an ark-shaped, non-mobile coop perfectly sized for the 6 we have, but am now in the process of building a slightly larger coop inside my detached garage. My husband wants to add a few more girls to the flock. Since we inherited them, we got the breeds they chose, golden comets and red rangers. We would like to add a few auracaunas and marans to the group.
Thanks for all of the info and guidance I have gleaned from the site prior to joining! Hopefully I can continue to learn and add to the vast knowledge base available here!

Chick addiction is very predictable - please build larger coops than you feel necessary, I promise you will fill them up. So many great breeds to choose from. If you buy a variety of them, in time you will decide on favorites and sell off the others. A word of caution, if you buy what is called "straight run," you can expect a majority of cockerels and either be stuck rehoming them or eating them. Better to buy either older birds that are definite male or females, or buy "sexed" chicks and hope they did a good job choosing.
