Hello.
Brand new to chickens and brand new to BYC!
My name is Lori. I live in a small town (pop. 1300) just about an hour south of Tulsa. I am married and have 2 sons, Justin, 19 and Stetson, 8. Stetson is autistic. He is a HUGE animal lover. Whenever the spring chicks come to the local feed stores, we always have to make several special trips to the stores so he can watch, hold and make sure the chicks are doing ok. I think having chicks will be an incredible project for him to be involved in! We have purchased a used, fairly large chicken coop that needs a little TLC, but is in great shape otherwise. I have been on BYC for the past 2 weeks researching chickens. How to care for them and most importantly, the breeds and the characteristics. What an awesome place to get all the information I need to get started! We have ordered day old baby chicks that should be here in the next 10 days or so. I don't know who is more excited, Stetson or me!!
I'm so glad I have a forum of experienced owners that I can go to for help!
