Hello!

[tlynn289]

I'm rather new to the chicken life and don't currently have any chickens but plan to get some in the spring. While doing some research on coops, predator protection, and many other chicken related topics I can across BackYardChickens.com I am so happy that I found this page!! Anyways.. I'm Tracy I'm from a small town in Northwestern PA. I have a husband, 2 daughters, and I'm a furmom. We are in the process of buying a house where we will start our homestead journey. The current plans are to only have chickens as we have 1.5 acres and strict codes/laws we have to follow. I hope we can all help each other and learn a think or two along the way.

Have a great day!

I'm about 3 1/2 hours North very close to the NY border. We used to travel a lot and drove thru that area quite often. Something I always enjoyed

There is nothing like a long drive in the country its so peaceful. I loved spending time on the farm when I was little.
