Hello from Illinois

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 

Lady Prepper here. Moved back into my Father's home out in the country and trying to get all set for some independent living. Chickens a must on my list Looking forward to all the great info. Have a shed I can convert to a chicken house that even has a large fenced in area for a run. Just have to set up roosts and get waterers and feeders. Happy to have found this site!!

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?

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?
