    Chicken's aplenty!

    I am near fainting thinking of starting with this quantity of chickens! (But then, I only have 2 right now) Renovating an add on sounds reasonable, but you may want to think to your future. My sis has a couple of buildings and has found it handy in case chickens need to be segregated for size or...

My chicken neighbor had this problem, then she added small plastic shoeboxes (you know, the little rubbermaid or sterilite ones) and put some shavings in them. She also added wood eggs. She no longer has a...

    Chickens allowed in Naperville, IL

He said the best shot was to somehow be involved with 4H. There are no specific rules on poultry. He did mention the "x number of feet from a neighbor's...
