New to Chickens

[mrsbrown37129]

Hi! I'm Katharine and I'm totally new to chickens. I got my chickens about three weeks ago at 5 days old! I have six little ladies, four Easter Eggers, one Australorp, and one Black Star. I found BackYardChickens.com searching for direction how to build my own coop, which turned out great! Other than my chicken obsession, I love to read, garden, and spend time outside with my husband, four daughters, and our dog.
