New member with new chickens

[Dmfoogamer]

Hello All,

I'm Dmfoogamer. I recently (yesterday) bought eight new baby chicks and am looking forward to raising them up with a bit of help from those more experienced and knowledgeable. A bit about myself, I'm a civil engineer who grew up on a farm, but now lives in the city(kinda). We did raise chickens on our farm, but it has been a good 15-20 years since then, so I am sure I will need a bit of help. My wife has been wanting chickens and so I decided to oblige her, hence our recent acquisition. Hope this message finds you all well!
