Hello

[Td310]

Hello to all, I'm new to the forum, with being new to having chickens I thought it would be good to join for when questions arise.
My wife and I had bought six lavender orpingtons in may of 2018, sadly today we had one die. The other five hens are running around enjoying the coop and run. This is our first time owning chickens after doing some research on them to have the basics to raising them we decided this was the year to get them. Thanks for reading and hopefully we don't have anymore get sick. Have a great day
