Hello, new here

[msb5643]

Hey all! I am Melissa, and I am new to the chicken thing. We live in the city of Spokane, Washington and just got two 5 month bantams Friday. One is a silkie and the other a cochin. We may go back and get another silkie...I think we have room. We are in the city and can only have three, and we are keeping them in a chicken tractor. They will also roam the yard when we are home. We read up on chickens with help from the local library but really don't know what we are doing, and want to do right by these girls. I am hoping you guys can help me! Any advice or things I absolutely must know?

and I recommend reading a lot on BYC, I learned most of my chicken info here and am still learning.

Hi Melissa, Welcome from an imp in Renton. There are several members over in your area.

Join us on the Washingtonians thread in the where are you forum. Lots of nice people there.

One tip, Protect from predators, there are lots of things that will eat chickens, even in the urban settings.
