Well, I finally took the plunge and ordered chickens! I am a total newbie but have been reading everything I can, including these boards, for the past few months. I'm in Illinois and just bought a 100 year old farmhouse on 5 acres. My husband and I have been checking out the chicken coop plans here and trying to figure out what and how big to build.
Very excited to be here, everyone seems do helpful. I've joked about having chickens for years and can't wait to finally do it! We ordered from Mcmurray Hatchery, and decided to go with Black Astralorps, Barred Rocks, and their rainbow layer collection (for fun). We have a teenager and a toddler who I think are going to really enjoy the chicks. We are also expecting a baby this summer, so life is going to be quite interesting this year!
