I'm not exactly new to getting chickens, though I wouldn't say I'm terribly experienced either. I've had a move in between but I started my first flock about four years ago. Now I'm in a different state and I've had these girls about...

I'm new to BackYard Chickens and I must say a HUGE thank you to the collective group already. I relied heavily on the forums here before we got our very first order of chicks (15 total) in March. We even built a brooder box and coop based on plans we found here, modified to fit our needs.
