Thread Starter 

My son and I are starting our first chicken family. We we out today and purchase three week old chicks, feeders, and bedding. I have purchased a wood dog house for the base of my coop. Have a large section of yard for them to range! Very excited but having a hard time finding white egg layers.

 

Wish us luck!

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?

Good luck with your chickens! They are a lot of fun to have. big_smile.png
White leghorns lay white eggs. You can get those from hatcheries. (:

I hope you find all the info you need here, and enjoy the site!
