Hello from Smalltown Nevada

[Ro013]

Hey all,
Well, I am indeed a newbie. Not only to this site but to chickens in general.
My husband and I are newly retired to the Country. Little ol Fallon, NV. About an hour outside of Reno.
My husband was in the Army up until 4 years ago when he was injured in Afghanistan and was medically retired. I retired from being an interior designer to take care of Hubby. I had horses when I was young but more suburbian horse owning. LOL.
We have literally our first house after many years of moving that we have been renovating the last 2 years. I have always, since a child, wanted chickens!
Today we adopted 3 girls from our neighbor who unfortunately is moving.
So here I am, looking to learn as much as possible so I have happy babies.

welcome to the flock. I am new as well, though iv'e been lurking on the site for months getting helpful info for my ongoing coop build

I'm finding everything I need as far as advice, real world experience and a ton of helpful people. I' sure you will too.

Welcome and thanks to you and your hubby for serving in the Army! (I always thank the family too, it's a whole family sacrifice!)

Be sure to check out the learning center and read, read, read! That has saved my bacon more than once! Along with all the super friendly BYC'ers here!
