Oh Boy!

[Katt47]

Ok, so this is my first time joining any online anything. Kinda nervous but excited!
I just move to Maryland from Pittsburgh a year ago, and miss it terribly. I had my first set of chickens for about a year before we moved and I just fell in love. My husband and I built the coop ourselves and had a blast doing it! We had to give them away because the move was not an easy one.
Now we're in a rural community in Maryland and getting ready to build our new coop. Does anyone have any info on predators here in Maryland? I'm in Carroll County. Just wondering what to be prepared for,
