Hiya Everyone

[Ladyorchid]

Hiya Everyone I am new to the backyard chicken keeping and I am finding I really love the whole chicken experience.

My grandpa always had chickens when I was growing up and I enjoyed sitting in the lawn watching them roam around the yard.
I really don't know what my chickens are as far as breed I guess they are just a mix a friend of mine give them to me so I am just learning she did say something about Easter eggers and I get some light blues eggs and some light blush colored ones from them I only have 5 hens and they are all the little bantam size.
I kept them in our makeshift wire coop till my hen house is done but I just couldn't stand it any longer so I let them free range during the day and pen them up at night. I will be glad when the house is finished. We live on the outskirts of the city but still considered city. we can't have roosters here just hens. I guess if ya can think of anything else you would like to know bout me feel free to ask I don't mind. looking forward to talking to all ya about my girls.

Hi and

Good luck with your chickens. Sounds very similar to what we do - our chooks free range during the day, except they put themselves to bed once they known their way around.

Grey Call Ducks sounds like you are hatching them out just fine without any hygrometer (shows humidity)
