I am new to chickens and I don't have any yet.  I'm just trying to learn before taking the plunge.  I would like to have a couple in our backyard but am clueless on where to find them.  I've been researching what I need to start and breeds but don't know how or where to get them.  I live in Nebraska.
 
I found out about the website by a google search.  I enjoy music, gardening and distance cycling.  We have one dog a Golden retriever who is extremely gentle.  How she would react to a chicken remains to be seen.

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

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?
