Yay, Chickens!

[alicemichelle]

Hello, folks!

I have been lurking on BackYard Chickens for a while, learning and researching, and am very excited that my partner and I will finally be starting our flock in April! I have experience with chickens, (a former landlord had chickens, I used to house-sit regularly for chickens, and I worked on a vegetable farm with 200 layers for a while..) but these will be the first birdies in our big garden in western Kentucky, AND our first experience with chicks!

We've ordered 6 chicks from Murray McMurray, arriving in mid-april: Barred Rock, Austrolorp, Ameracauna, Silver-laced Wyandotte, a Whiting's True Green, (a last-minute choice..) and a Partridge Cochin. I'm excited about this adventure!

Not yet, but we've been researching and talking about a plan, and my husband is a crafty builder. We're hoping to have a mobile coop situation.

Welcome! It’s exciting to have you here! We are glad you decided to dive in!
I am not sure this mobile coop made it to the coop section, so I’m sharing it here.

Welcome to BYC! Sounds like you are an old pro! You'll be such a great addition to the BYC discussions! But, careful...chicks are addictive!!!
