Hello! I'm new. Ok, I'm not "new", but haven't had time to actively be on the site for anything but reference in a couple of years. Hubby and I moved to Highland Twp last winter. I just got my first ever batch of chicks in the mail from Meyer... I've always bought adults our older pullets before. SO, I've got my brooder set up in the basement, the peepers are peeping contentedly to themselves, the dogs are learning that they are not to be played with. All is right with the world for the moment. The ladies will be in the basement for another couple of weeks, then I'll move them to the Big Brooder in the barn, and then into the "converted shed" coop when they're old enough. We're planning to build them a coop out of cob later this summer, when we have time (hahaha - like that's ever going to happen!)
