new member, newbie to chickens, new hobby. it was horses before, lots to learn and a bit of a crisis

[trailrider731]

just a teeny bit? HA, I could write a book, but not for now, I'm on a borrowed PC where I should not be. MINE crashed at home this past weekend, ON the hunt for a fix or a new one, so posting will be sporadic for a bit. I dont want to burn up the Kindle Fire or run up data charges on the phone.
SOOO, no more horses after 30 years, needed more work to do in the yard, so a five chickens for now, one very sick, sure wish i had been able to get on line this weekend or get some help from the folks at Tractor Supply yesterday. ANYWAY, from what i glean today in a hurry between jobs, probably my poor biddy (13 weeks all five) may have coccidiosis. She's indoors for now, and hanging on , started june 14. I had to leave her today, so I can only pray for the best. I've cleaned the biddy house and yard really good, have a fan temporarily inside with a LONG extensioin cord.
I normally do a lot of research before acquiring a new critter, but not enough obviously. I wanted them soooooooo bad.. I'll be downloading the dummy book before leaving the office today.
SO, got to go for now, Do you think i could double post this in another discussion? NEED all the help I can get as my heart gets ahead of my brain at times.

seeya, the best is yet to come,

, i'm now making a list of emergency items to have on hand, i'll have to search for a list. and unfortunately my little biddy Sweets did not make it. I should have done more research before i jumped into getting my chickens.
