We recently moved to a place that has 2 acres and decided that having chickens would be a great addition to the family. We currently have 16 chicks 2 1/2-3 weeks old. I love BYC Forum. Everyone is so informative and friendly.
You are in the same boat I am. Trying to share time between building the chicken coop and planting the garden. Thank God for the 3 day weekend. Now if it would stop raining...
