Hello to all! Just want to introduce myself as a newbie. There is so much great advise here, I can't wait to soak it all up.

It's been a long while since I've been on the chicken forums as we had an insecure run and a coyote got all of our birds more than two years ago. It took us some time but we built a "Taj Ma-Coop" for the chickens and finished the run about a month ago when a friend asked if we wanted her three Welsummers. That prompted us to get some Marans' hatching eggs and over the last few days we hatched out 3 Silver Birchen Marans (one cockerel, two pullets), 3 Blue Coppers, and 2 Black Coppers with short third toes. Since I really want to breed them, the blacks are a disappointment. However since all along I've wanted Black Coppers for eggs and breeding I'm not going to give up; I'll just need to get them from another source.
Looking forward to chatting with you and seeing what you all have. We would like a large, varied flock.
We are in Inyokern, FWIW.
