Soon to be Newbie from Ohio

Hi all,

I've decided to start a journey into the world of chickens. I live in North East Ohio and in a suburban area. Going to start a flock of hens for eggs and to teach the children where food really comes from.

I think I'm going to buy some chicks soon and start.

Working on my chicken coup design now. I think I know what I want based on a coup I saw on here!

If there is anyone in the near Cleveland area who has chicks for sale let me know. Would buy local before a hatchery if I can connect with someone in the next couple of days. Otherwise have to buy online before they sell out! I have limited choices of where to buy because I only want 6-10 hens. Mostly I want a mixed bag, lol. Would love some Easter Eggers or the other breed that lays blue/pink/green eggs (sorry can't remember exactly how to spell it!) But I would also like some of the breeds that lay brown eggs too.

I look forward to meeting many of you on here and reading many of the excellent posts, etc. on here.

Happy Chicken Raising,

Mellisa
