I'm relatively new to raising chickens, my house came complete with a great coop and two runs. We got 2 RIR, 2 Americaunas and 2 Buff Orphingtons (two roosters in the bunch!) We're looking forward to learning more about getting away from store bought food, fortunately we have a huge garden and lots of extras for the girls and guys! I've been reading through a lot of the posts and getting some great ideas. Looking forward to learning more our new additions!
