Hello From northern Vermont

[island Girl 802]

I'm excited to begin my Back Yard Chickens!!! We started by converting our bicycle shed into a coop & after many hours looking for pics of the inside of a coop, we decided to turn milk crates into our laying boxes. They look great, and are very easy to unscrew from the wall & clean( il post pics later). Next we incubated 30 & had 22 successful hatch this weekend. I found this site was very helpful for many of my question & am very happy to be a member now!!!

Thank You!! It's been a great experience for my 3 young boys & im very excited to save on the grocery bill & know where our food is coming from. Im very happy w how colorful they are but I'm not sure what kind of chickens they are, my dad got them from a friend of his for me & all I know is they have some kind of game bird in them. I've looked for days but can't come up w anything, that's a big reason for signing up to BYC was to ask & see what folks had to saw & also just pick people's brains!!

Hi, Island Girl! Another Vermonter here - and another first time chicken keeper. Your flock is adorable!

your flock picture is adorable. It looks like the chick at the very back, is reading the label on the box.
