Hi, from Kentucky

[Shuttergirl]

Hi, just bought six amberlinks yesterday. I have a coop ordered and it should be here in the next week or so. Currently have them in a makeshift brooder in the garage-- and they got to have a little play time outside in the sun today! These are my first chicks to keep. I raised one other set of 6 to the point they were ready to go out in the coop and those were for my husband's grandfather. And that was a couple of years ago, so I am a bit rusty and will probably need some help from time to time!
