New to raising chickens

[RD Farmer]

Hello all- I’m relatively new to raising chickens. Started with my first 4 chickens on 11/2/2023. Thought I was prepared with countless hours of study and speaking to several folks that raised backyard chickens. Once having the care of those little lives, the realization of the seriousness of the job hit home. I joined this web site with the hopes of learning what I don’t known for the care of these birds.
