Hello!
I’m a noob to raising chickens but I’ve always wanted to have my own little flock for eggs.
I currently have 4 1 month old Ameraucanas (3 white splash and 1 wheaten) and 1 3 week old black australorp. They’re still inside but I’m hoping to transition them to their outside coop next week.
I have an enclosed backyard space for them to roam around so I think that will be nice.
I’m (not so) patiently waiting to see if I have a roo in the mix. I’m leaning towards keeping him if he’s not too noisy but they are illegal in my city
I’ve been having a lot of fun figuring out next steps as I go. Especially alternative/easier ways to do things. Like I’m a big fan of the vertical water nipples and have a modified soup container in my brooder right now with some installed.
I also didn’t know chicks are dusty AF

I’ve been lurking the backyard chickens site for a while so I’m excited to maybe post a few questions/photos and continue to learn!

Welcome. They are so cute. I don't know of a way to keep a rooster quiet.

Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies! I always check in the "What's New" section as well at the top of this page. This way I can read how I may have a similar question or help give some advice.
