You will love the chickens!

They will eat the slugs but will also eat the garden, FYI

Thank you! I've been warned about that, and plan on building some chicken wire "tee-pees" to go over my plants!

Welcome to Backyard chickens Amanda, it's very nice to meet you. By any chance do you have EMUS?? If you scroll down the "forums" threads you will come to "Emus." I don't have any but, they are very interesting to read about.

I don't have any emus, I somehow ended up with this nickname when I was in highschool and it stuck. Haha. They are pretty awesome critters, though!
