Hi everyone! I live down in Cincinnati! Going to be getting chickens soon!!

You bet, I most certainly will ! I can't wait to see them, but they won't arrive until mid-April. It gives me plenty of time to finalize my coop design and drive my wife crazy with my constant talk about chickens.

Welcome to my life....believe it or not....the obsession gets worse once you have them!

Hi everyone! I'm just north of Lima, Ohio. I have quite a mix flock. I love all the different colors and feathering! Also the rainbow eggs are fun too!

Does anyone have any silkies near me? I am looking to get a few as I am hatching with an incubator, but would love to have a mama hen raise some babies as well. I have plenty of space for different pens and plan to build those this year.

Hello Ohioans,
I am in Toledo, Springfield Township actually. I am just trying to get started with chickens so I am studying on what I need to do. At first it was a little overwhelming but now I am excited about raising them and having fresh eggs, partial to brown. I am also petitioning for any guidance and information I can get because I want to get off to a good start. I have an out building that I need to repair and make it coop worthy before I actually purchase any chicks, which I am not to clear on as to where to get them in my area. I want hens that will produce large brown eggs possibly 4 to 8 a week. My goal is to be able to provide fresh, organic eggs for my church family. I was planning on starting out with 7 to 10 chicks unless I get advice saying differently. I don't want to bite off more than I can handle since I am new at this and don't really know what to expect. I will post pictures of my building as soon as I can get to it with all the snow and frigid temperatures we have been having. With that being said I am open to any words of wisdom .
