We are just now beginning our research about having our own chickens. I am sure i will have lots of questions. We are located in south GA. Hubby plans to build our coop. Got to find best design first though and choose our chickens.

We just got our first chicks. Thought you might enjoy a pic.

So far they are easy to keep and very entertaining. We have been enjoying watching them in the brooder.
