Hi everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jennifer and my family and I are going to be chicken owners tomorrow. My youngest daughter BEGGED us to participate in the 4-H poultry program. I'm not sure if it is the same everywhere but in our area that means she will be receiving 20 chicks tomorrow. We will raise them and in August or September there will be a show at our local farmers market where she will bring 6 to be judged and then auctioned. We can do as we like with the other 14 (assuming they all live, here's hoping). Y'all, to say I'm nervous would be an understatement!! I have read everything I possibly can online to learn about raising chicks but we have no hands on experience. I am looking forward to learning from this group and being apart of this community.
