Hello we are a family of 5 that has just in the past year started raising chickens.  I am enjoying seeing my children learning more and more every day about chickens.  We went from having 6 hens and 1 rooster to know having 11 hens, 1 rooster, and 41 chicks.  We are hoping to sell a lot of eggs this fall and then maybe next spring hatch our own chicks to sell.  Just taking it one day at a time.

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan frow.gif

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?
