Hello all,

Today is a big day for my family and I. My kids finally got their chickens. They are only a few days old. Forgive me if I don't know much about the breeds, but I do know they are the ones that lay colored eggs (the guy at the store told me they are sometimes called easter egg chickens). So far, we have built a box for them to stay in until they are ready to go in the coop. I have drawn out my plans for the coop my wife wants me to build. I plan on getting that done in the next few weeks.

This is very exciting. At first, I was pretty hesitant to do this, but as the kids kept asking I started to become more excited about doing this.

I just wanted to stop in to this forum and let you all know that I will be leaning on you for support as I get used to this new part of our lives. I am excited to see my kids working and playing with these cute little fellers.

I'm still new, too! Got 13 four wk old chicks, still in the brooder, waiting for warm weather!
Good luck!
