Newbie on board!

We have been wanting to get a few hens for eggs for years, but never really did any research except talking to some local friends that have a few themselves. We are in NJ where it gets mighty cold in the Winter. Below zero is not uncommon. We are thinking of staring with 3 or 4 chicks and starting this project in the Spring. Not sure what breed or type to get, which lay colored eggs, how much space, type of coops, etc. We have 1.5 acres and think a movable unit would be the best option, or maybe not.

I have a lot to learn and glad I found this forum.

Don't mind my stupid or obvious questions about everything!

Look forward to the Spring

You've started in the right spot; this is exactly where my dream of having chickens began!

Hello and

from snowy NE Ohio!

You must understand, or you will understand, there is no such thing as "a few hens"

As you build your coop, be sure it can be expanded easily. Trust me!

Welcome!

There no stupid questions, only idiots who press on like they know everything.
