New Maine Chicken Keeper (at least planning to be)

[Readingtomyson]

Hello backyard chicken folks! I'm looking to start raising 6 chickens in my suburban backyard with my wife and children. I'm trying to read and organize all I can to be well-prepared for this new adventure. Thank you in advance for all of the tips and items to make sure I have or avoid to raise these girls!
