New Chicken Owner!

[cmwelling]

As of yesterday I've become a new chicken owner! My boyfriend and I have been doing research for a few months now and bought a 4'x32' coop and have about a quarter-acre yard for the chickens to roam in during the day. We bought 4 young hens ranging from about 2 months to 5 months; one Black Copper Maran, an Ameracauna, a Buff Orpington, and a Lavender Orpington. I found out about this website while doing research on raising chickens and have found a lot of great information in the articles and forums! We're so excited for our new chickens!!
