First, I would like to thank all the great people on this site for all the great info. I felt like a pro before I even brought my girls home. My name is Nate. I live in the Phoenix area. I built a coop last week and adopted two beautiful hens and one ugly one. I feel fortunate, my old dog and the girls get along, I got three eggs in the first week, and my girls give me a warm welcome when I open the gate. I look forward to learning more about my little flock and sharing any info that may help other newbies.
