My name is Kim. We live in Boston. I’m switching over from family childcare to a small, farm-ish garden that will include chickens. We know nothing, so I’ll be reading a lot!

Hi. This is the best place to land for newbies like us. I just got my first flock of 5 chicks 6 weeks ago.

What breeds are you getting. What kind of coop? Just my 2 cents if you get a prefab get one that says it will hold twice as many as you plan on getting. Mine is definitely not big enough and it said it was for 6 birds.

Good luck!!

Hi Kim! Welcome to BYC! Have a look around the forums, and make yourself at home!
Be warned, chickens are addictive! Build your coop much bigger than you think you would ever need.... you'll probably need it
