Hi

[CooKooMaran_babies]

it said to do an into so here I am. I'm 19 and this is my first time having chickens. I recently purchased 6 cookoo Marans and would like to keep learning as I raise them.

Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I've had wild chickens around my property, and have raised some before but never on my own. I believe I got some when I was 12.

How many chickens do you have right now?
Currently I have 6

What breeds do you have?
Cookoo Marans

What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
They're very sweet and beautiful creatures. I enjoy petting their heads.

Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I was looking the forum and needed some advice. I made an account to help my babies

This is a great place to learn, share and just hang out. I just looked at your post on the ER forum, but I have no experience with sneezing chicks. Hope someone gives you some advice soon and that your Marans are all okay.

Welcome to BYC; you sound like a great chicken parent, and we're happy to have you here!
