Hello from NC!

Our family of 6 just got our first chicks this week. I was quite reluctant, but now that they are here, I'm totally smitten. Our four children are overjoyed. I'm looking forward to learning from the wealth of knowledge here. -Heather

Hey Heather, Welcome to the community. I am also a new member and live in your area! I have raised chickens for about 25 years? Who knows, but now that I am an empty nester Grandma the chickens get a lot more attention. You will enjoy this site so much if you find people to follow, ( I just figured out how to do that click on their name and hit follow) - Look forward to seeing photos of your chicks and journey.

Thanks for that tip! They are growing up so fast, it’s been really fun. Here’s a few of them now and where we started at 1 week.
