I am so excited about your chickens! I hope they hatch well(I think you said you where hatching). It is such an exciting process(I don't know this from experience...but...I just know). Hope all goes well and hope to see you around!

Hey BYC!

I've been a lurker for a while and finally joined. SO and I bought a 5 acre house a little under a year ago. We went back and forth about getting chickens and well, we did!

We're currently T-4 days til hatch day. We started off with 12 Australorp eggs. Decided on them because they're cold hardy and it gets cold and snowy here. We're down to 8. We're currently converting one of our sheds to a coop with an enclosed run to a fenced "free-ranged" area.

We have four cats (the three in my avatar. Our ginger doesn't much like the group lovings). It's been exciting to see them grow and we both can't wait til they get here!

Hello back!

I am glad to see you are hear. I am also in central MN as are several others on here.

We have a thread on here that encompasses the entire state and we even pick up those in the Dakotas that wish they lived here...

We try to treat them as equals, and pretend they know what a tree looks like.

We have a varied group, some post daily, some occasionally, we even have gatherings where we drink coffee, or tea or whatever while dining with fellow poultry people. (We do let dux people come to these but make them sit at the far end of the table)......It is nice to have others to talk to whose eyes will not glaze over and fall asleep when talking birds to them.

We have all become good friends because of BYC. Please come on over to our thread and say Hi.,... https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/surviving-minnesota.1052702/page-3855#post-21234949
