I'm the same, honestly even though eggs were a HUGE part of wanting chickens, they are such members of the family now that if they never laid an egg I wouldn't even be tempted to get rid of them!
aw, well thank you.. encouraging words! I have tried my best to prepare as much as I can in advance with knowledge, but there is SO much to learn through experience so I hope to one day feel like I've earned being "good" at having chickens. :)
I may find myself in your shoes soon! I don't think one can have them in the valley. I have no idea what to expect from our roo. This is our fist time with chickens and so if his crowing stays as is I think we'll be fine, but he is young so who knows!
Hi! I'm IjsChickenMama and I am so excited to join BYC! I'm going to be really boring and copy paste -- my brain is fried thanks to upcoming finals.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Yes, had them for about a month and a half now.
(2) How many chickens do you...
