Hi there, Like title says Newbie is pitting it lightly.. I just bought 2 Australorps, 2 Sexlinks, 2 Barred Rocks, I have an Old Heat pen from my beagles, so im converting it into a Coop, Then introduce them to a 10X10 dog kennel, then after that the will have access to 10 acres of grass/woods then up at night!!! We Love Eggs and Tired of buying store bought!!
I live outside of Richmond,Va in a small town called Beaverdam.... Sorry for the long introduction!!!
Oh, not a long introduction at all! Congrats on the new birds! You will love your Australorps. A very docile friendly breed. They can also be very affectionate and love to lap sit.
Have you stopped by our learning center yet? Lots of good articles on getting started and raising your new birds...
