New momma in KC MO

[Eckelclan]

I’m new momma to chickens. They are now almost 10 weeks. I have two Plymouth Rocks and 4 Rhode Island reds. I am excited to learn more as it’s been decades since I was around chickens and I never did more than feed and collect eggs. But then I was just a kid.
I am learning new things daily and now want to learn more.
I live in Missouri and don’t know anyone who lives in KC south area that has any around me.
my husband built a hut that I can access via wheelchair and I can get to the door of the run and he handles that but laughs because the chickens follow my voice and try to follow me but run and hide when they hear him lol

Welcome to BYC!

Thanks! I still am trying to learn what to watch for so they don’t get sick. Paranoid mom that I might mess up or something or miss signs

It does get easier. It is much less time consuming than raising the little humans.

Welcome to BYC. I would not be surprised if you find a chicken or two or three that decide they would like to ride the wheel chair with you.
