Welcome, Emily. I'm glad you're able to get chickens again, and I hope they're as fun as your last flock. There are lots of fun folks to help on BYC, and the forums are always open.
Wow Thanks for all the welcomes!!! I've got a couple of days off work coming up... need to use my time wisely!!! I am going to try and plan out the best area for our new flock, Somewhere not too hot not too shady but just right!!! sounds a bit like goldilocks and the 3 bears!!!
