New to BYC, new to farm living

[mdfishinggirl]

Hi all!
Great site, I am totally overwhelmed!
I am new to living in the country, but have always wanted chickens. So..I am building a coop and hoping to get my chicks this spring! I never do anything without some background knowledge (okay, I manage a celtic music group from Scotland and had NO CLUE how to do that before I started), so this site is FANTASTIC!
I look forward to learning more and can't thank everyone here enough!

What kind of chickens are you hoping to get? Feel free to ask a lot of questions. There are a ton of nice people here!
Managing a celtic Music group? How cool is THAT??

I have an Emily, too, and mine is, um, how to put it nicely, a "handful", lol!
Must be something with that name....

By the way, Welcome to BYC and country living from NC!

I am thinking Barred Rock, Cochins and would like a few Buckeyes...I love silkies and frizzles...but the husband says "no". I tried

The group is called Cantrip and have a website/myspace site. I don't know if it is cool...it is a ton of work, but their music is why I do it. I am hoping that the chickens will be relaxing as I need to reduce "stress"!​
