Greetings! Heard about BYC years ago listening to various podcasts as I began my quest to learn some chicken lore.
We know that we'd be moving the end of 2017 and wherever it was, I wanted some fresh eggs. We ended up north of Spokane, WA on just over an acre. I built a coop and am in the process of finishing up the run.
We took delivery two days ago of a box of chicks! I wanted to order 12 but the min was 15 and there were 20 in the box! My coop is about 60 sq/ft and the run approx 400 sq/ft.... so I may end up letting a few go if they all do well and continue to be hens :)
Breeds are: Buff Orpinton, Silver Laced Wyandotte, Barred Plymouth Rock, Light Brahma, and a few Easter Eggers. The chicks are doing great so far with only one showing a bit o "paste". The kids are loving it, especially my 8 yr old daughter and 13 yr old son. I tried to delay it but some have names already.
I'm a big fan of forums and have gotten huge benefits from others and know this is the best chicken knowledge depository around and for that I'm very grateful. I've learned a lot browsing. It's great to be here and hopefully some day I can contribute as well.
