Hi from Australia

post #1 of 16

Thread Starter 

I love this forum, I've been reading here everyday for the past few weeks. My husband and I are very keen to start our journey towards being more self sufficient. One of the things we are looking at getting are chickens, first for eggs only and then perhaps also breeding meat chickens. And a lot of other animals. 

 

We plan to get our first chickens in a few months, at the start of spring here (September).

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan big_smile.png

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?

I'm on a couple of the other sites, not as fast-paced as BYC, but still a lot of fun. lol.png
