Newbie from Western Mass

Hello everyone. Well we are anticipating spring end the arrival of our first batch of chicks!! All my life I thought it would be great to have chickens, and now we are able to do it. I have read so much my eyes hurt, but there is no substitute for experience. So I plan on learing as much as I can thru this forum. Hope you all don't mind dumb questions from time to time.

We are starting with 4 Buff Orpingtons, as layers, and about 25 Cornish Cross Broilers. Off to the races!

You are starting off with broilers? Wow, that's brave.
