Welcome to Backyard Chickens Vicki! We are glad you joined the flock! BYC is a helpful site providing all of the information you need to know about poultry. There is always space for more members on the BYC roost! I have complete sympathy for the loss of your chickens due to a predator attack. A secure coop without holes is very important when starting a backyard flock. Hope you enjoy it here as much as we all do!
Hello Vicki! We're also in the woods of central Ohio (though I transplanted only from as far as Michigan). Sounds like you all are off to a good start!
