Marc, I was just thinking of this thread the other day and wanted to ask you about your progress!

My best friend and her husband are buying a property with 10 acres and he's super excited about the possibility of having some chickens. (They have a 2.5 year old who is also going to love it!) She gets to have her horses on the property and he gets chickens, though they've agreed that 4 is plenty! He's been a city kid most of his life so it will be interesting to observe...

Our local Farm Bureau and Tractor stores already have baby chicks and ducklings for Spring!

If you haven't seen these, they seem like a nice way to start:
