Hi everyone. I'm Lisa, living in Rochester

[SituationalLefty]

About to get my chicks from a local hatchery. I kept chickens years ago and now want to have laying hens. I've been going to "chicken university" with books and youtube videos and this site. I'm planning to convert a resin shed into a coop. There's a lot of information on youtube about how to do this, including making ventilation and securing the shed. I'll post more when I finish. I'm so glad this community exists!

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! I always check in the "What's New" section as well at the top of this page. This way I can read how I may have a similar question or help give some advice.
