Hello from Massachusetts

[RobBauer]

Hello ALL,

Thank you for all the great information, I have been lurking around for the past month.
I bought 8 hens (Cinnamon Queens) about a month ago, I knew next to nothing about chickens, My daughter and I went to the local farm and bought them. As I was asking a million questions at the farm, the lady pointed me here, she said "everything you need to know, you will find at backyardchickens.com"

She wasn't kidding, this site has been extremely helpful. The girls are a little a month old now. so far it has been a great experience for my daughter and I. I will keep looking around here for all the answers to my questions, thank you all!

Rob
