    Convincing my mom

    My two dogs had parasites a while back, we don't know why or how, but she thinks that they'd get them again if we got chickens. But no, my aunt had five or six big farm dogs that ran around with the free ranging chickens and they nor my aunt ever got sick or anything.

    Convincing my mom

My garden is in a large U shaped raised bed with about 8 feet tall fencing around it because we deal with LOTS of deer. I wouldn't be...

    yeah my aunt has chickens and she said that theyre super simple and very friendly! My next door neighbor has probably 15 outdoor cats, which might become an issue so I’d need to get a good sturdy coop for them.

    Convincing my mom

    Im sixteen and trying to convince my mom to let me get chickens. We have a huge backyard and a garden, plus we throw away tons of food scraps we could use to feed them with. I currently own a cockatiel who lives in my room, but she still thinks having chickens outside would be nasty. Any tips???
