Thanks for the warm welcome everybody! There’s so much info out there it’s always hard to know where to start. But if I’ve learned anything from the country store I worked in, it’s that asking the people who put their hands on their work every day usually know what they’re talking about. Now, not quite always, and I am a second opinion type person, but it is usually the first solution I’ll look into anyway! Anyway, long way of saying I am positive I’ll enjoy being here!
Thanks again for making me feel like more than a number!
our coop will be here tomorrow; is there anything special I should do in cleaning it out from a previous owner? That is all, for now! We are getting the coop for free, and we are going to clean it up etc and expand it, but I wanted to be sure I’m not missing anything that could potentially harm the girls.

Can you post some pictures of the coop when you get it?

Sorry y’all- I got even busier as we picked up another 4 babies right as we were moving the other 4 into the coop! Ha! And this cold weather has been more work trying to make sure the coop stays plenty warm for 3-4 week old chickens- ah! Our new girls are so sweet! We got 2 black Australorps, and 2 bantam, which turned out to be one bantam Sussex and one buff Brahma bantam who is just gorgeous if I do say so! Here’s Jackie, and Chip! We named our Sussex Chip, as she of course looked just like a little chipmunk!

Sure! Let me see here. These silly girls.... for a free coop we made out really well, and we have started on a larger run and larger coop with a couple more nesting boxes!
