Newbie Hello!

[SilverBirds]

Welcome to BYC!

Hi! New here today and to chickens as of Saturday.

We bought:
1 Delaware pullet, a buff brahma, two sapphire olives, a brown pullet and two speckled sussex. They are 9 days old and in a brooding box with one of those flat brooding digital brooders.

I live at about 5,800 feet elevation with hot dry summers and varying cycles of snow/cold/50s winters of Colorado.

We're currently looking at Omlet.US cube, but haven't decided yet on the coop.

Welcome to BYC!!

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Do not use one of those plastic coops. I am south of you in New Mexico in the mountains as well. With our climate and cold, your birds will develop frostbite sleeping in plastic. You need a wooden coop that will absorb moisture, and retain some heat. Get a shed and convert if needed.

Welcome aboard!

How exciting! I know you'll enjoy it here.
