New to raising chickens

[mckim59]

Hello, so glad to have found this site. My husband and I bought our first chickens back in the spring. I never thought I would be a crazy chicken lady but here I am loving it! We have a small flock and I'm learning as I go. Every time I search google trying to find answers about 95% of the time I end up here. Thanks for having such a great site with so much wonderful information!

Why stop at being a crazy chicken lady when there are so many other critters just waiting for your hugs? Look at that little goat. It’s crying because it just wants a hug from you! Give in! Go get your goats! Don’t forget the other animals too.
