Hello forum members!

I am a new member living in rural Washington State. My husband and I are new to having chickens. We got our first batch of chicks in mid-August and they were so cute that we got another batch a week later They are a little over 3 and 4 weeks old at the time of this writing and we've been raising the two batches together after the first few days. Currently we have a total of 11 chicks.

Looking forward to learning and sharing through this community!
