Hell my name is Josh and I am new to chickens and the urban farming stuff. Well to be honest I haven't started yet, I am still in my research phase and think I am almost ready to go. I am very excited to start my adventures in chickenry. I am make roads and install underground utilities in the greater Seattle area. I'm currently reading up on everything I need to know as a newbie for my chicken companions. I look forward to being able to have my own chickens, and to share knowledge and experiences here. Thanks for reading!
