Excitedly preparing for my first batch of chickens. I like flowers and am wondering if I begin using hanging planters how high they have to be so the girls don't eat them all. Trying to keep things as natural as can be, so I'd rather not clip their wings (unless they get over the garden fence)...
Considering ordering chicks rather than purchasing from TSC, but am concerned about how long it's going to take for shipping. Nearly everything I purchased for Christmas was late. I am still waiting for a couple items! Doesn't seem healthy for a box of chicks to be sitting in cold shipping...
Have almost always had dogs and cats and desire chickens for their awesome and healthy eggs and meat. Thoroughly enjoyed the Lady Humans' book that I got for Christmas this year - Beginner's Guide to Raising Chickens.
