New to chickens

[leddy]

Hello all-

My name is Laura. My husband and I have just purchased our first home - yay! With the home comes a beautifully made chicken coop and 7 chickens. I know the basics of chicken care as my grandfather has a farm, but I am no expert! I look forward to reading other people's stories and ideas on how to best take care of chickens in the backyard.

Thanks for reading!

-Laura
