I finally took the leap!!!

I ordered 6 Buff Orpingtons on March 4th from Mypetchicken.com. They should be here the week of the 23rd. I went to Destiny Farm in Brighton on March 6th and couldn't resist getting two Rhode Island Reds. I named them Molly (back) and Myrtle (front).

You will find alot of wisdom and help, here.
Remember: build your coop twice as big as you think you'll need!

Yeah twice as big so it will be longer before you have to add on.

They are so cute! Welcome to the club. Raising chickens has been such a rewarding experience. Can't wait to see pics of the others!

This is very very bad. You know have 2 breeds of chicks and now there is no escaping. You are an addict you just don't know it yet. I have EE and Buckeyes and 1 lonely Old Enlish hen. I may be getting welsummer still thinking about it.

I know Chickapooh23. I have been addicted since July of last year and it didn't help finding this site in september. lol. I think I will have more by summer. See there I go.

I already have two coops that I am working on. One is a converted dog house 7'x4'x4" and a playhouse 4'x3'x5'.
