Writing from Northwest Ohio, about am hour south of Toledo. Had chickens when I was MUCH younger living just outside of Pittsburgh. Me, my boyfriend, Roger the Dog, and my boyfriends parents are embarking on an adventure with 6 ISA Brown chicks (about a week old now!). 3 will stay with us, and 3 will live with them! Excited to read all of these forums and threads and learn all we can!
Lastly but by no means least, the members here are amazing - very friendly and helpful, so if you need an answer to a question or simply want some reassurance that what you are doing is ok, then post away - we all help each other out here at BYC.
