Hello my name is jessica im a first time chick parent and I figured the easiest way to look up question and to share my excitement with other people that also have a love for chickens would be to join a site. I have always wanted to start a small homestead iv have already started composting! My next task was to get some chickens I had bought 4 chicks from tractor supply at the end of March they are all healthy and growing well and I have received 2 more chicks this week. I really wanted chicken for the eggs and I love animals!
