Hi!
I ordered baby chicks last week. They will arrive in April. That gives me just over 2 months to figure out what I’m doing, as I am new to chickens.
Six female chicks were ordered:
2 - Black Australorp
2 - Amber Star
2 - Colombian Wyandotte
If you live in or near Rockingham County, VA I would love to hear about your set-up (coop, run, etc). We have 5 acres with a fenced-in backyard that goes underground. No problem with ground predators inside the fence. I’ve been looking a coops built by a family in West Augusta county. They advertise on FB Marketplace. Is anyone familiar with their coops?
I’ll admit that I am a little nervous about this endeavor. Chickens seem like a natural extension of gardening, which I have enjoyed immensely over the last 3 years (since we moved to this property). I hope I’m not in over my head!
