Glad you're here!

When you get your chickies, make sure your coop has a proper amount of VENTILATION. Your chickens will absolutely thank you for!

Pork pie already covered many of the main things, and if you ever have a question, just make a new thread in the forums, and you’ll most likely get an answer in under half an hour.
Thanks for joining the flock, and enjoy your stay!
