Hi from first timer!

[ronott1]

Greetings from South Carolina. Just got my first ever chicks. Got them a tractor supply. We started with 6, 3 French cuckoo marans an 3 Plymouth rocks. Looking forward to watching them grow. Hubby is working on design a tractor coop.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens!

The chicks will be ready for the coop in six weeks. I hope the chicken tractor is ready then

Hi and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us

Glad you're here !

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/)
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!

One last thing, if you're into gardening, feel free to join this years SEED SWAP (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/seed-swap.1220129/)

Hello and welcome to BYC!! I spent a little time in Charleston, many moons ago. Are you any where near there? Good luck with your new girls! Love barred Plymouth rocks

I live in the upstate, just bordering Charlotte in a smaller town, Rock Hill. We live outside of city limits with limited neighbors.
