New to chickens:)

[larsonas]

Hello,

I was introduced to this site from another member who said all I will need to know is on here! We are new to chickens, just got our new chicks a couple of weeks ago. We have 4 Rhode Island Reds. Our chicks will just be for eggs and entertainment So far, they have been quite entertaining and we are loving watching them grow. Starting small until we get the hang of this. I've also heard of "chicken math" so starting with just a few in anticipation of adding more.
