My family is new to raising chickens and this site. We've read about everything we can to prepare for our chicks arrival...and they came yesterday morning (11 from Healthy Chicks & More Hatchery). I've been wanting chickens since I was a little kid and now I'm on that journey!! One of the few things I agree with Freud on was this quote: "Happiness is the realization of your childhood dreams."
All our babies are doing great! Our 3 year old daughter just wants to be around them all the time (and so do I!) but we're doing our best to let them be and get acclimated a little. We got a mixed bag of breeds: buff orpingtons, jersey black giant, barred rock, black austrolorps, speckled sussex, & brahmas.
Excited in Indiana!
