Hi, thanks for having me!

[Thamasin]

Beautiful day in Northern Vermont! Is there a time period before I can post photos, or am I doing something wrong? (No shocker there.) We've been off the grid in a tiny cabin for 3 years. Chicks seemed impossible, as we were hiking in gasoline, propane, and relying on collected rain water. Circumstances changed this spring when my last son flew the coop with his new bride. From 12 X 24 to 2400 square ft.! In two days, the downstairs bathtub had 10 chicks in it.I figured we've spent 3 years without
a tub, sure don't need two. Another batch of chicks coming next week! Looking forward to learning lots.

Wow that is so awesome to hear Thamasin and no there is no limit for when you can post pictures. It is awesome to have you part of our BYC community! I am so happy to hear your bathtub is sufficing a home for your flock! I am sure you are very excited for your new chicks coming I sure am and they arent even mine LOL. Yes this is a place for people to ask questions and learn a lot about chickens. If you are planning on learning how to take care of your chicks I would recommend going to the raising backyard chickens section https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/64/raising-backyard-chickens there you can find various topics such as incubating, feeding and watering, and even injuries and cures! I am so happy you decided to join our BYC community and I hope you have as much fun on here as I do!

Yay, I figured it out...well sumi figured it out for me! Now I'm going to try a couple at once, and then plant some more beans. The chicken run is between the garden and the hedgerow in the shot of the mansion.

Beautiful area, though the snow gave me a jolt. I'm not ready to see any for a few months. Welcome to Backyard chickens. Glad you joined us.
