Just thought I'd say hi. Stu from Australia, living in blue ridge in Virginia (Lexington). We are in the process of becoming backyard chicken herders. Well, we found out we can have chickens in our little town. Been doing a lot of research etc. We dont plan on getting any new fmaily members until after xmas, probably in jan/feb/march time. I dont think I want to do baby chickens as the dead of winter closes as the weather will soon turn to autum, and I'll need a few weeks to build a good weather capable coop..
Our plan was to run 3 or 4 australorps getting them as pullets, I dont think my wife or I can be home enough during the day from work give them the care such young chickens need if we got em as day olds.
We will see how things turn out.
Just saying hi is all
