Welcome! This will be an adventure! Mostly a wonderful one with lots of learning and some hard things sometimes! One thing is for sure, you will be entertained... watching chickens is better than TV any day!Hi everyone. I am new to backyard chickens. I don't have any yet. I found plans for a coop that my husband will be building. My niece has many chickens, and I have picked her brain. I hope to network with local Illinois keepers and share info. I am learning about the breeds to purchase. Wish me luck!
I am in the western suburbs of Chicago. I'm thrilled to be able to have chickens here!Welcome to the board. What part of Illinois are you from? I live down south, about an hour east of Carbondale.
