Hi,
I just got my first small flock about 1 week ago. I now am the proud mommy of two 4 month old sexlinks (one red, one black), and four 1 week old chicks (1 Brahma, 1 Americana, 1 old English, and 1 production red). I didn't realize it would take so long for the babies to join the big girls, but that's ok, I have the space to accommodate. I'm in the process of converting an unused shed into the new coop. So any heads up or important points that may help in doing so would be greatly appreciated.
I have found myself very obsessed about this new chicken hobby! My boyfriend even told all his friends that all I ever talk about is chickens (kind of embarrassing)! I thought maybe this forum will help me get out my chicken squawking (couldn't resist,sorry) and save him from having to hear it.
I have so many questions and have been reading so much, both online and a book I bought (Chickens for Dummies). I hope to find many answers on here! And I thank you all in advance for any advice I find or receive!!!
