Hi! New to chickens!

[kthurman34]

I just bought my first 6 chicks about a week ago. They are 2 weeks old now and doing great. I raise cattle, goats and tons of rabbits, and I have been wanting to raise chickens for years. So I finally took the plunge.
I bought 6 Silver Laced Wyandotte hens and a small chicken coop. Now I am just enjoying watching them get a little bigger each day.
