Hello chicken community,

Thank you guys for the warmest welcoming. I am a 22 year old Phoenix Arizona native! I love the heat and the fact that I never have to shovel snow growing up my family had chickens from ages 3-10 but after the last one past away they decided not to get anymore. Well, 12 years later here I am buying my very own chickens. I have built a coop and run by hand and set it up on the side yard where they will call home. I’m putting up a fence to block the side of the yard from the rest (I have two cattle dogs who hopefully will make good friends with the chicks). I live in a suburban neighborhood but I am lucky enough to not have any form of a home owners association. I currently have two 3 week old Rhode Island Reds and one 2 week old Barred Rock. I’m waiting on my local store to get some more baby chicks in but it is pretty slim picking during the winter. In a few days I plan on picking up two more chicks. Hopefully they can all get along but if not I will set up another brooder. Thank you guys for the time and have a great day!
 
Welcome aboard! Lot of good people and good info to be learned. Mostly all you have to do is ask.
I ordered my day old chicks from Meyers Hatchery and have been looking at Cackle Hatchery considering my next batch. They both have great websites with lot of good advice,descriptions of breeds and also guarantee to replace chicks that don't ship right. Good luck and enjoy your new critters!
