Hello from Kentucky!!

[Jmac0525]

Hello! I am from KY. I am new at raising chickens and recently bought 12 chicks at our local country store. I had chickens when I was a kid but never raised them on my own so any advice will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi and welcome. Are you raising your birds for meat or eggs (or both)? What breed(s) did you get?

 

[Jmac0525]

Raising them for the eggs. I have Columbia rock cross(crossed with Rhode Island Reds), Barred rock, Ameraucana, Silver-laced Wyandotte.
