2yrs ago my son thought it would be fun to "get some chickens, mom"!! I was all for him getting chickens. He bought 5 chicks a house and everything we needed! Then he got 2 turkey chicks! After that he moved out and left them all here "as a present"!!! My husband and i have been caring for them ever since! Last spring my other son bought some chicks for himself but ended up giving 4 to us! That makes 9!! I always check BYC for advice and now am a member!!!

That's cool. Chickens are amazing, and so are turkeys.

Glad you're here !
A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/)
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.
Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!
One last thing, if you're into gardening, feel free to join this years SEED SWAP (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/seed-swap.1220129/)
