Hi!

I'm a young chicken fan from Derby. My grandparents used to raise chickens in a little backyard barn. Now that I have my own backyard I want to continue this tradition.

Since I was just a lil'un when we had the chickens I sadly don't know a lot about their upkeep. I'd be delighted if any you you nice chaps could help me out with my questions

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

The FAQ section has links to many useful threads with information on raising chickens. Good luck.

one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

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