Hello from Canada

Hello,

 

I just joined today.  Looks like a great site! 

We don't have any chickens YET.  This is something I have wanted to do for years and now I think it is time to get started. 

This looks like a great place to start. 

Our city has a bylaw against raising chickens in your backyard.  The only way I can do this is if I disregard the bylaw. 

My neighbours could easily be paid off in eggs....LOL. My neighbours are really great so I don't think I would have any issues.

I raise and breed Australian Shepherds.  We have a huge property in the city with tons of space for chickens/coop and free space for them.  I can't wait to dive in and start!!!

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?

Thanks for all the "welcome" notes and the encouragement.  What a great bunch of folks.

I look forward to getting to know some of you and learning all about chickens and how to raise them in my back yard.
