Hi everyone....I'm happy to have found this website. I am very interested in having 3 or 4 chickens for eggs and also pets. OI have a small flock of parrots not I want chickens..lol. I need help as I am very new to this. I want to do it right or not do it at all. I am from Columbus, OH and living in Troy, OH. My husband is from KY and lived on a farm. He just laughs at me when I tell him I want chickens. I do have a question that I'll start with. When having chickens do you have to have all the same breed together? There are so many that I like....lol..but I can't have them all. Also please, please, please all suggestions greatly appreciated. And I'll apologize ahead of time for some of the goofy questions I might have.
