Hello and nice to meet you all. I'm 35 with my wife whose 30, two sons, Deven and Jared who are 7 and 8. We have 18 left of our 20 chicks we bought at TSC this spring thanks to an outbreak of cocci. I'm posting now so I can fulfill my new member requirements so that I can post some pics of my chickens to have ya'll tell us what they are. We also have 2 goats, a weinee dog, a weinee dog/terrier mix and a parakeet. I'm a sheet metal worker specializing in copper and my wife is a Compliance auditor for a diabetic supply company. I just joined to get some answers about my sick chicks, but I've gotta say, I have spent every free second this weekend reading the post. I'm looking forward to making some contacts here as I'm sure this is the perfect place for me. My boys and I are really enjoying our chickens and we are looking forward to raising a strong flock.
