Hi From Maine!

Hi, We're new at Backyard Chickens. A very generous friend gave me some Dominique eggs to incubate with my school kids. 1 hatched. The kids fell in love. We called her Solo. I planned to give the chick back to her but instead she asked if I'd like 3 more Dominiques to keep her company. Of course I did! They she asked if I'd like 4 more, being we didn't know how many were hens and how many were roos. So now we have 9 chicks between the ages of 4 weeks and 6 weeks. We are loving our chicks and I posted a question on converting a horse stall in our barn into a coop. Hope someone can help guide us with this! Thanks! And so glad to be here. Mary

Horse stalls make great chicken coops, just gotta make them rodent/predator proof and have good ventilation.

It's so easy to go from one to nine! Keeping my fingers crossed that you have lots of pullets. Enjoy your new adventure...It is so rewarding and lots of fun. Glad you joined.
