Morning Everyone!

I'm a Stay at home and homeschooling mom of 3 boys. We joined 4H 2 years ago and have had chickens since the summer of 2017. We purchased some online from a hatchery and have since bought from local breeders, up to several hours away. The boys enjoy the bantam breeds at the moment.

Glad you're here Cassie! We are also a homeschooling family... but to only a single 8.5 year old this time around.

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, please get your chickens some Vaseline or bag balm to stave off frostbite before they get it! Baby, it's cold outside! :D
