    We plan to just get a premier 1 fence just the fence, for now, we aren't interested in it being electric but will have the option for later if we feel the need. It's $178 for a 42" by 164' fence.

    What kind of fencing does everyone use? Our chickens will have a large covered run but will be out and about during the day. I keep going back and forth between an electric fence and non-electric just to keep them out of the kids play area

    I'm in Warren about 1 1/2 hours from Erie. I want my children to feel as comfortable as possible around the chicks so we will spend time with them often. My husband has given me a 10 chicken max at any given time HAHAHA so our coop will only be big enough for 10 for now. If we feel we want more...

    Thank you all!! Our local ordinances says we can't have a rooster :( we are only allowed 6 hens which is fine we are a family of 4. I will definitely be doing my research and checking everything. Are there any issues I should be aware of with housing different breeds together? Or is that a big...

    HAHAHAH! I currently don't have any. We are getting ready to move to our homestead and we are still undecided about which breeds would be best for our family. We have 2 small children so docile is preferred. I know my kids want at least 1 Silkie but I've heard mixed things about them being able...

    Family Chicken Breeds

    Sorry if this has already been posted I searched and didn't find anything. What are your favorite docile family chicken breeds? We are starting our homestead journey and have 2 small children who will be around our chickens daily. Just trying to get an idea of the friendlier breeds. Thank you!
