Hello!

[WillowsCorner]

We don't have chickens yet, but I have wanted them for 25 years. We live in a small Village in Illinois with just over an acre so are planning on getting chickens this spring. I've come here to hopefully learn as much about backyard chickens as I can before we jump in the coop.

Good luck with all your research! Make sure you have your coop ready and built by the time your chicks arrive... they grow so fast! The following articles have important information to help get your coop in great condition for your future flock:

Best wishes!
