Husband and I got baby chicks in March from a local feed store-8 production Rhode Island Reds. A few weeks later, we bought one Lemon Cuckoo Buff Orpington and 3 Blue Laced Red Wyandottes from my neighbor who raises all kinds of poultry, among many other animals.
Husband worked for weeks on the coop and set it in place on Mother's Day. We finished the run a couple of weeks later and everything looks great. The chickens are growing and all are free ranging. (Although we spotted a fox last night sitting patiently waiting for us to go inside so he could get a quick snack right before sunset.)
I have been stalking the Backyard Chicken boards for the past few months and felt it was time to join. Everyone on here is so knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you all! We are loving our chickens and who knew they were so entertaining!
