Hello From Lake, Michigan

[Jackinc33]

A few days ago I received my first 20 straight run chicks. Jersey Black Giants. I was a Cockatiel breeder for many years and had to give it up when I lived in the city. Now I own a house far from the city and decided to try something new. I have never had chickens before but have been researching and looking forward to my new chicks for the past couple months. I seen this forum and within 5 minutes I knew it was the place to be. So, thank you for having me!
