Surprise new chicken mom

[Clinkyclink]

My husband and I recently moved to Wyoming and to our surprise, our new home came already inhabited with 10 chickens in the henhouse. Thankfully, I have a bit of indirect experience through my parents who have been raising chickens for at least a decade or so. So I immediately put out an SOS to my dad who gave me some basics. I am having fun with the hands on learning of raising backyard chickens and am looking forward to any and all advice you all can give me.

Welcome to BYC! I cannot imagine just moving off and leaving an animal, but we do hear about it here on byc. I'm glad you are rising to the occasion.
