Hi everyone, I am new here and just wanted some advice on how to take care of chickens.

[Mariesha6]

I’m not very good with my words, but I hope this comes out OK. I recently bought land with my husband and the previous owner included seven hens and one rooster and I know absolutely nothing about handling or taking care of chickens and would really like everyone’s advice on maybe what I should know as a beginner.. hoping to reach someone who has been handling chickens for years or even if you are a beginner like me. thank y’all in advance.

Thank you penny for the welcoming, I’ve heard wonderful things about this website and followers. I’m just excited to learn all I can because never in a million years did I think I would be able to have chickens. I’m glad I got an old hand’s attention because I would love your help. I hope yall don’t get sick of me.
