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?

Hello from the finger lakes in NY. Enjoy the site.

We are the "Flying F Ranch." We are waiting for Christ's return. Are you ready or will you be grounded rather than flying? We have Rhode Island reds, Speckled sussex, buff orpington, and red broilers. We also have New Zealand buck rabbits and Flemish giant/California/New Zealand crosses does, called big greys. Love our little ranch and looking to expand.
