Wisconsin Chickens

[Jbrown22]

Hello All!! I am completely new to this community. I’m located in sort of central Wisconsin. I live in the country on an old farm with my husband and two little boys. We have 3 cows and 3 dogs. We plan to get chickens in a few months and I know very little about caring for them. So I’m thankful for this community. My hope is to have fresh eggs, entertainment, and a nice responsibility for my boys when they get older. We plan to start with 5-6 and see what that gets us. We plan to do a little free range, but also are in the process of researching and building a coop for them in our barn, which does have electricity. I found this group on Facebook and cannot wait to learn from all of you!

Salve (Latin for hello)! Chickens are a wonderful addition to a farm! My mom grew up on an old farm in Wisconsin but she didn’t have chickens…didn’t know what she was missing out on!
