Bow, Washington
According to something I saw on Facebook recently, my chicken name would be Cooper fluffypants! I’m jeri, actually. My husband and I moved here to Bow, Wa. 9 months ago. He is able to work remotely until he retires (again) in a few months. My son, daughter-in-law and their two babies live with us, as well as their two big dogs.
We are newbies at raising hens. We have turned an old barn on our property into a chicken coop and are adding an attached outside covered run. Since I’m outside gardening most of the day or in the greenhouse I’m hoping to let them free range with me. It seems to be what most people do around here
I’ll be spending lots of time reading these great articles and following your great threads!!

Hi Jeri and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us.

There’s a link on the page above to the Learning Centre - it’s a great resource. If you have a specific topic in mind, just type it in the search box - there's a wealth of information on past and present threads.

Each week, various topics are discussed, which can also be a great resource - https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/topic-of-the-week-thread-archive
