A geezer has to do what a geezer has to do

Hi all. Well, my beautiful, younger girlfriend’s birthday is today and she has requested for her gift, to dedicate about 1/2 acre of the place to fulfilling her dream of raising chickens. I can build the coop. She has the passion for the yard birds. Having said that, we need all the help we can get to do this right. Having spent the last 20 years teaching gun fighting to cops and military, I am looking forward to the increase in conversational intellect talking to chickens will provide (I say that with love and any Sheepdog reading will get it)

Welcome and what an excellent gift! How many chickens do you plan to start off with? I am relatively certain that you will have some talkative ones in the flock.
