New in Illinois

[Beckasue2]

Hello! My name is Becka and I recently bought my first chicks. I've got 3 Buff Orpingtons (1 a cockerel), 2 Barred Rocks, 1 Speckled Sussex and 1 Black Laced Silver Wyandotte. My son-in-law, the farm boy of the family, has built me a chicken coop that looks like Dr. Who's tardis! I'm hoping to raise enough layers to provide my family with eggs and also meat birds. (And hoping I'll be strong enough to process the meat birds.) I am very glad to find this group.

How cool is that? I have seen photos of Hobbit style coops AND Tardis coops. Love something different like that. Creative people have no limits. Would love to see a photo.

If you would like to join your state thread just put Illinois in the search box and it will pop up.
