A new beginner from Connecticut

Hello everyone, I'm John. I'm new to this site, and my family is going to start raising their first chickens and ducks in just a few weeks from now. We are getting them as day-olds from Metzer Farms and My Pet Chicken. For the chickens, we've decided on getting some bantams and standard size breeds like Buff Orphington and Buckeye. As for the ducks, we are getting some Welsh Harlequins, a Cayuga, a Silver Appleyard, and some other duck breeds as well. I'm hoping to have a great time with other members on this forum, along with getting advice and help with questions that I (and my family) may have.

Welcome from a fellow Nutmegger! Sounds like the family will have fun adventure. What kind of coop/run, etc. are you planning?

Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies!
