Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

Be sure to check out the Washington state thread - they are even more talkative than us Michiganders

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?
