    I'm new to raising chickens, I just picked up 7 chicks on Friday, I have 4 buff Orpingtons and 3 easter Eggers. So far it's a lot of fun! They're so cute and I'm excited to watch them grow up :)
    This week or the next I'll be building them a coop to move into when they are big enough, but for now they're in a big cardboard box in the Garage with all the fixings
    I've been lurking here for months while I was doing the research on raising back yard chickens, so I look forward to posting and being a part of the community here!
