    Hello - I'm a newbie to the chicken world

    Oh wow! I wouldn't think to have them indoors. I've heard of dog diapers for when they are in heat, but I've never heard of chicken diapers. Thanks for the info.

    I know your post is old, but it popped up when I did a search. I am in Lehigh Acres also and was wondering if it is legal to have chickens now. Someone told me you can have up to 12, but no rooster. I need to check with the county to see if that's true. thanks, Georgia

    Hello - I'm a newbie to the chicken world
