    Newbie asks: If I get some, how much time will my chickens require?

    I would probably start with 2 or 3, then move up to six. Maybe -- distantly in the future -- I would grow the flock up to a dozen. No roosters (I live in the 'burbs).

    How about butchering the chickens ... how much time would that take? Also, does anyone have any experience with rabbits (curious again about the ongoing time commitment)... I was thinking of an integrated operation where the rabbit cages are suspended above the chickens in a deep litter...

    I am thinking about either 6 broilers or 6 layers, deep litter method. I don't have a good feel for the time commitment ... # hours per day, special trips weekly, etc ... Just want to make sure I don't get in over my head, as my wife and I have jobs.
