Nicole01- Thanks! I am so glad to hear it is worth it! If I can go to my hubby with a plan of it will cost X per month and I build the coop and take care of the chickens myself, I do not think he will have a...
Hi everyone! I'm new here. I am hoping to convince my hubby to agree to chickens in the near future. Primarily I am interested in the fresh eggs, but I have a young little boy and I think raising chickens would provide some wonderful life lessons for all of us!
