Hi everyone! So grateful for this resource!
We are first time chicken owners. We got our chicks on April 16. We have 4 Jersey Giants, 1 Buff Orpington, & 1 Cuckoo Maran. They are getting big!! I think one of the Jersey Giants is a rooster! We recently moved from Seattle to a rural area in north east California. We have 6 acres with a fenced in chicken area and a hen house that is an old miners shack. The people that lived here prior to us also had chickens and used the shack for their chickens. We have had to do lots of cleaning up to make a good home for our babies! Its coming together tho and we enjoy watching the chicken antics. I just started letting them roam in the yard and they seem really happy! We will building a roost in their house for them soon. We also bought two of the premade plastic nesting boxes that hang on the wall. Looking forward to having fresh eggs in the fall!! So happy to have found this forum! Great info!!
