Hey!
My husband and I are in the N. Alabama area. I grew up with commercial poultry houses so I've been around chickens my whole life. We got our first got chickens about 10 years ago, moved them to the country with us, immediately lost all of them to predators and dogs (heartbroken) and didn't have any for a long time. The in-laws, with our permission, gave the kids 4 leghorn chicks 2 years ago that have been in a chicken tractor since and I hate it. I finally talked my other half into a bigger coop and a run so I can love on some chickens again. We have a couple each of some Marans and Bielefelder, one blue/lavender orpington baby, and some EE barnyard mixes on the way! Our kids are 3 & 6, so they are very excited to have chickens they can pet.

Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies! I always check in the "What's New" section as well at the top of this page. This way I can read how I may have a similar question or help give some advice.
