Hello

[donaldphelps]

Hello everyone! My name is Don and I am brand new to the world of chickens. So new in fact I don't have any. I have always wanted chickens for eggs. I eat a lot of eggs. I also am very particular about the food I eat so I want the best possible eggs I can get. So I have finally decided after talking about it for years that I am jumping in. I am currently working on my coop and then I will be getting the chickens. I have a basic knowledge of how to raise them but I am also an information junkie so I will be using this site to gain much more wisdom and knowledge from everyone. I am planning on starting with just 4-6 chickens.

Hi, Don. I'm new here, and to the world of chickens, as well. I didn't start out with any knowledge of chickens except they poop and lay eggs...I underestimated the amount of poop part.

Good luck on your chicken adventure!

Nice to meet you Don, the best place to start out would be the Learning Center above, then branch out to forums that interest you.

So smart to make the coop then get the chickens ... it takes planning to do it right and I'd say you are on the right track!!

You will enjoy haveing fresh eggs , I still smile when I collect mine and I'm allergic to eggs!!!
