Hi,

Just thought I'd introduce myself since I had a chicken sexing question. I live on the Central Coast of California. I've never had chickens before and bought my first 10 the 15th of June. I've lurked on this board on and off for a few months now, and though I only check this site every other week or so, really enjoy the topics and learning about new things.

I now have 9 chickens (I lost one within the first few weeks

). 3 Easter Eggers, 1 Dominique, 1 Delaware, 1 Australorp, 1 Buff Orphington, and 2 Wyandotte (silver and golden laced). These guys have been a wonderful introduction to having chickens, and I am having so much fun! I sit with them for about an hour a day just to pet and hang out with them.

My husband built me a large coop (he's a structural engineer - everything that gets built is way over done at our place

), and we made a temporary run for the chicks. Eventually they'll be free range and brought inside at night. They have two acres to play on with several other species - 3 horses, 4 cats, and 2 dogs.

I guess that's enough about me. I'm pleased to meet you all, and I appreciate this nice place for other chicken obsessed people to come, learn, and chat!

Welcome from Indiana Kristania!

Have you posted pictures of your structurally sound coop (lol)? Those posted coop pics really give us who are still in the planning stages good ideas.
