Hi! I'm Dianna and I am just starting this whole chickens-in-the-backyard journey. I've wanted to get chickens for a while and finally took the plunge.

I have three daughters, two dogs (yes, they are a problem!), two bunnies, and 7 chicks. We have Blue Laced Red Wyandottes and are excited to watch them grow. I am planning our coop and hope to get it started soon.

I started an Instagram account for my little loves. It's thebestnest_okc. No posts yet, but I'm working on it!

Every time I run a search to answer a chicken-related question I find the answer here so I decided to join the community!

Well it's good to hear we're answerin so many of your questions! Welcome DiannaDi of OK from Leighe in TX. Blue Laced Red Wyandottes are gorgeous! Excited for you and your daughters. As far as a coop....make sure it is predator proof. You can read a lot about them on BYC. Raccoons have hands that can open locks and chain link fence. Hardware cloth is your friend and lockin your babies up in the coop at night will help them have a long life. Post pics when you can and I'll check out your instagram (great name by the way) :love
