Our new chicks!

Yesterday we ended our day picking up 6 little chicks. We got 3 Barred Plymouth Rocks, 2 Americaunas, and a lonesome Rhode Island Red.

We got them but haven't gotten a coop ready just yet as we're planning on building it large enough for a couple of extra chickens, we're thinking maybe 10 at the most. The coop will be built to allow 6 nesting sites, and a couple of roosting areas along with it. I'm still new to raising chickens, but I can sure see the benefits and the opportunity of better health and being more self-sustaining, and best of all, its a learning experience which may grow to a larger scale hobby.
