Hi, everyone!

I am one week into having my very first chickens! Me and my husband got 2 ISA Browns and 2 Golden Comets. They're doing very well and I am already in LOVE. I have 3/4 sleeping in my hand, and I'm having so much fun watching them run around their brooder.

Let me know if anyone else has experience with these breeds or any tips for a beginner backyard chicken owner!

Hi Kelly, welcome! My tip is, start building a bigger coop/ hen house! Four chickens isn't nearly enough, lol! They are just too cute, too fun, too adorable, and you're gonna want a whole bunch more before you know it! We call it Chicken Math. Also, use hardware cloth, not chicken wire, to protect yourbabies from predators. Other than that, well... have fun! Oh, and, we love pictures around here!
