(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I'm new to chickens . I got mine about a month ago.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?I have 2 hens and a rooster

(3) What breeds do you have? Silkies

Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies! I always check in the "What's New" section as well at the top of this page. This way I can read how I may have a similar question or help give some advice.
