Morning!

[beccaroni]

Hello! I'm Rebecca and the boyfriend and I have been talking about getting some chickens when we move down to South Carolina in August. I joined this site to gain information on what in the world to do with chickens and how to properly care for them. I am hoping that this will be a great place to learn!
About me and the boyfriend: We are the proud parents of a cat named Goobs, 2 leopard geckos named Frankln and Henry, and 2 bearded dragons named Smaug and . . . we don't know the new one's name yet. We are looking forward to starting a small flock of our own!
