Hens Again In the East: My Flock's Autobiography

[PouleNoire]

Hello, Hola, Hallo, Ciao, Marhaba, Nǐ hǎo! Greetings from the flock!
To introduce their caretaker, I have been raising chickens since 2015, originally in the high elevation of Wyoming until life happened and now we're settled on the east coast in Pennsylvania! We're just getting our flock up and cluckin'; chicks are set to arrive tomorrow and the already-present shed on the property is getting prepped for its fate as a coop. I'm creating this thread as a means of documentation for the flock's journey as well as hopefully an as-problems-arise outlet of inquiry. Feel free to watch this cirque de poulets (circus of chickens) through the screen.

Their narrative is what they'll make it be (with help from their devoted caretakers of course); this is how it's playing out:

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. Thanks for the intro. Now I'm anxious to see the chicks you are getting.

Thanks, been around BYC for a while just wanted to start new documentation for the new flock over here. Tracking the precious peeping parcel right now, I'll post the breeds associated with the chicks once they arrive.

Welcome to BYC! To be an autobiography, the chickens would have to write it themselves. Looking forward to pictures. Maybe you can teach them to take selfies too!

Not the best just wanted to get some first day pics, the heat lamp casts a great (not) filter over them. Now time to try and figure out names!

Thank you They're doing well so far, had one pasty but nothing to be worried about. Some of the most chill chicks I've had; not scared of my hand whatsoever!
