Good to know! Thanks!

OOooo, that's a great idea! Thanks!!!

Just curious about mixing breeds. I'm new to this and we are doing lots of research before diving in. We are only allowed 3 chickens on our property. Is it better to get all 3 the same breed or is it ok to mix if we get them as baby chicks? Thanks!!

Hey! I'm new to this whole backyard chicken adventure. We are in the very beginning stages with lots of research. We can have a maximum of 3 chickens. Our summer project with the girls is to build a coop. I'm curious about breeds. Is it best to get all the same breed or can we get a white egg...

We've got some great ideas. My husband, the engineer, is on board so I'm sure we'll be able to have a small dance party in the new digs! So far the adults are more excited than the kids...figures! I'm going to make my girls document our progress. So far we are still in the development stage.

It seems the bear isn't around any more. I think they may have found better trash in a neighborhood with more junk food. We tend to not have too much actual "trash" since we recycle and compost!

Thanks!

We've been thinking about getting chickens for a while now. We have a wonderful backyard garden and edible landscaping throughout our front yard. We have 2 daughters, 2 very large dogs, and the perfect spot in the backyard for 2 happy hens. Our main concern are the predators so I'd appreciate...
