Thread Starter 

Hello,  My wife and I are new to raising chickens.  Our daughter came for a visit and brought us a 6 pack of 4 week old chickens...we have wanted to do this for some time.  Not much we know about this, but I'm sure we will learn...  I am starting on a coup building in the next couple of days...do many nice designs.

 

We live in Ocean View, Hawaii (the big Island) and have plenty of dogs and cats as well.  I look forward to learning allot from this site.

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?

Aloha from California! We have relatives on Maui, but I love the Big Island. So beautiful. Congratulations on beginning your chicken adventure. If you have any questions or concerns (or just want to share) you've come to the right place! Someone on BYC will be able to help. big_smile.png

 

Best wishes and happy chickens!
