Newbie in the coop

Hey all! New to the forum, and fairly new to chicken keeping. My fiance and I acquired our first 6 chicks in September, but 3 of them turned out to be roosters, so being that were in city limits, we had to give them away. I had decided no more chicks till we purchased a home with land next year, but somehow over the weekend, I ended up with 4 more chicks in the brooder.

Looking forward to learning tips and tricks from experienced keepers. And learning more about the breeds and habits.

Included is a pick of our most recent additions to the family.

I got the bedding to stay in place with an old trick I learned from Spiderman. Haha. I didn't notice the pic was sideways till after the comments. Lol.

As for the hen house, we've converted the shed. It's got plenty of room for the growing girls, though, a chicken on a leash is not out of the question. The fiance is fairly fond of the idea since finding chicken harnesses at the local feed store.

Welcome to Backyard chickens!

It is amazing when chicks show up in your brooder!

I love it!

We came here looking for answers to a fix for pasty butt, and decided we should probably just stick around. There's a ton of information in this threads I can come through.
