Hello from Georgia

[Magenta_Chick]

Believe it or not, my name actually IS Magenta

This is my first time ever raising chickens. I got 6 little chicks 2 days ago from our local feed store.

I got 4 pullets (2 are yellow and 2 are brown)
and I got 2 bantams (one is a very light gray, and one is broun with a soild black stripe down it's back)

I have no idea if they are male or female, I guess I will have fun trying to figure it out.

My husband and I started building their coop last night, and have it framed out. I figured in the 4 or so weeks they will be in their brooding box, we can get the coop finished.

So far I have only had one little chick with a case of pasty butt, but we got her cleaned up and she seems happy.

from Ohio. So glad you joined. Don't feel alone, many of us are cleaning pasty bottoms now.

Edited to say: I love your name and the color.
