Hi Everyone,

My 16-year old daughter asked if we could get some chickens because she wants to raise them and be responsible for their care. I have wanted chickens for a while so I was more than happy to oblige. We are getting our babies tomorrow and will work on getting the coop set up over the next month in our backyard.

I have NEVER owned chickens and will be picking up 5 chicks tomorrow (March 5). I am hoping to get a Silver Laced Wyandotte Pullet, a Light Brahma Pullet, a Rhode Island Red Pullet, a White Silkie Bantam and a Black Australarp. We also have 2 dogs, a cat and a Russian Tortoise. I am 53 and have 2 kids, a son who is 19 and is in welding school in Gillette, Wyoming and a 16 yeard old daughter who is a sophomore in high school. I do bookkeeping for small companies and my husband is in commercial real estate. I found BYC from my good friend who is an experienced chicken owner and takes wonderful care of her flock.

I am sure I will have lots of questions as we get started. I am glad to be here and have this resource available.
