I have to be honest, I am not a fan of birds. In fact, I have a sort-of phobia of birds, so when my husband brought home 4 Rhode Island Reds and 2 Ameraucana chicks I was less than thrilled. My husband and our 7 year old daughter have been feeding, cleaning and watering the feathered creatures for the past 8 weeks. I first got on BYC to check out coops and I easily spent 2 hours just checking out the pictures of beautiful chicken coops. I revisited the site to find answers to questions that came up during the first month of our new "egg"venture. I realize there is a large community of folk that love this hobby and I must say I am starting to enjoy the little chirps and peeps and squawks. I have learned a lot from the forums and I am feeling more comfortable each day. Thank you for this fun, and informative site! Amber
