Hi my name is Jim and I will be starting with my first small flock this summer. My wife and I are building a new house in the country with some land and are looking forward to living where the air is fresh and the neighbors are close but not too close. I ordered a few Rhode Island Red and Barred Rock chicks for delivery in mid summer. I have been reading a lot of books and articles on chickens in recent months and have learned a lot about raising chicks, feeding and watering, and sheltering, protecting and exercising the flock. I lived on a small farmette when I was a kid in the late 70's and early 80's and raised Bobwhite Quail on my own from incubation to adulthood. I remember really enjoying learning, watching and caring for the quail and I am confident it will be even more fun (and productive) with chickens. I am looking forward to having a place where I can ask questions and share experiences. Thank you for having me!
Once you get started, if you have any questions about them along the way, be sure to ask. Welcome aboard!
