Hi from CO!

[gretabee]

I've been lurking around for awhile and have been spending so much time on BYC I figured I might as well join in! My husband and I are brand new to raising chickens. We will be getting baby chicks in about two weeks! We have been busy gathering supplies for the brooder and my husband is building a coop from scratch. I'm both excited and nervous!

Welcome to BYC!

It is normal to be a bit nervous. I STILL get nervous raising chicks and get up in the middle of the night to check on the babies. You might want to stop by this article from our learning center on raising your new babies from the start o 2 months old...

When you get a chance, take a look at the link to the learning center as well. Lots of good articles on all the aspects of keeping poultry.

Enjoy this new adventure you are on and welcome to our flock!

Thanks for the warm welcome! We spent a good part of the day working on the coop, and the brooder supplies I ordered online arrived today!! I can't wait to get the chickens!
