Hi! I'm a recently retired educator who has been trying to educate herself on raising chickens! I should be getting 5 or 6 (laying) hens and 1 rooster next weekend! Yikes! The coop and run are almost finished. I've read a lot of information and watched many videos. I'm glad there are sites like this one to help newbies like me!

Hi Pam, Welcome to BYC! Where are you located, and do you have any other pets or livestock? What type of chickens are you getting?

Thank you! I'm from south MS. I don't own any other animals. Both my neighbors have cats that amble over from time to time, though. I'm sorry but I don't know what kind of chickens they are! I'll find out soon, though. I'm getting them from my cousin and his wife who raise non-GMO fed animals. Check out their web site: https://naturesgourmetfarm.com/. The beef is delicious!
