SO excited!

I am a second grade teacher who recently hatched 14 out of 21 chicks in my classroom. I lost three to a neighbor's dog and recently discovered that only one of the remaining chicks is a hen. My husband will soon be getting rid of our roosters because of their obnoxious vocal chords. So I found 5 more hens on Craigslist to try this again! I have a small six chicken coop and 100 acres for them to roam on. I welcome any and all advice on this adventure. I LOVE watching them in my yard!

Get settled in and share some pics of your flock!

Quarantine the Craigslist ones for at least 2 weeks before you put them anywhere near your current flock. To make sure they aren't sick.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Good luck with all your poultry adventures!

100 acres I bet you will have to give each bird a compass so they can find their way back to the coop.
