I am a reformed city girl who recently got her very first chicks! They are 4 weeks old now, and coming along wonderfully! (I think) I did lose one baby, but the rest are growing like little weeds! I have 4 Rhode Island Reds and 1 Black Australorp. Right now they are living in our living room, in a very nice "Baby Hen House" that my husband made for them. We are in the process of moving to a brand new home with lots of room for them to range, once they are old enough.

I have done tons of reading on the care of chickens, but have absolutely no practical experience. Until I purchased these darlings, the only chicken I had ever seen was on the shelf in the grocery store, so I am sure I will have tons of questions!

Nice meeting everyone!

Too bad about your chick that didn't make it. I had 1 this year die too. its very disappointing.
Most of us have been where u are starting from nothing, but with a little experience u will feel like an expert in no time
