Hello and welcome to BYC, You found an Amazing Poultry Community to be a part of with many great knowledgeable members, who are more then willing to jump in and help you along your journey with any questions you may have.
Welcome from New Orleans. I am so glad to hear your children are so excited. Have they gotten to collect eggs and watch you cook them so that they can eat them? My granddaughter loves to do that. She thinks the chickens lay an egg just for her breakfast.
