Hi!
I am new to raising chickens, and in the process of making a paradise for them in my city backyard! I purchased 7 chicks at random, mostly coming from TSC in Washington State. I have no idea what breeds they are; they were just cute and I couldn't leave them at the store! I ran into Backyard Chickens while learning what I can about these "girls" (hmmmm) I have a lot of interests, so it does make it difficult to pursue any one thing, but for this summer, the chickens win! We have 4 felines, and only one gets to go outside, as he is a very good boy. We have semi-introduced the smells of the chicks and let him see them, so he will leave them alone later when in their new coop and run. I trust he will be good because he leaves the squirrels alone now. :) Plus, he is a bit stout to be able to catch anything! I call myself "ChickenBeliever", because I never thought that you could be so drawn to chickens socially. Was a total surprise to me. Thanks for reading and I look forward to learning how to raise healthy and happy friends with the help of your site.

Thanks for your note Haley! I see you are from Arkansas! I feel a draw there. Perhaps one day I will move from the city. That is the hope! I can come on down and get laughed at for about a week with my "accent", and then I would blend right in! My voice is a quick-shifter! Take care!

Welcome! I'm also very new here and recently came home with 7 random chicks myself. I went to pick up just 4 originally then decided I should have 6 and then was gifted one more from the lady who owned the hatchery!

I've found so much great information here already with out even having to ask questions.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the welcome, BC neighbor! I hope you get more hens than roos! I didn't fare so well...darn buggars are so darling but the city fellas understandably do not allow them. Have fun!
