I've been on this website many times but the addition of chicks this year got me to finally join. I hope to figure out how to post correctly before I get on anybody's nerves! (I posted already but don't know where it went!)

We have a "zoo crew" at our house. 12 chickens (3 hens, 9 chicks), 3 dogs, a bearded dragon, 2 hamsters, a cat, and 2 fish that the kids kidnapped from a stream out in the woods (small perch?) by the name of Jimmy and Dave.

HI and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

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?
