Hello, Im new here. My boyfriend and I want to get some chickens. I have a some questions:
1). We live in Canada, Ontario, what kind of breed should we get? ...keeping in mind we have cold winters.
2). Should we get them as babies, or adults?
3). Can we pet them?
4). How ofter do we feed them?
5). What kind of food should we feed them?
6). Will the chickens attack us, while we collect eggs?
7). We have a big deck, and was thinking about building a coop under the deck, good idea? Or should we build a coop?
8). How much would a coop cost to build? If we decided to build one, we would want to build one within our budget...not too expensive.
9). Do we have to be home all the time for the chickens?
10). we want the chickens to roam around, does someone have to be home when they are?
11). Can the chickens be home alone, when they are roaming outside? Or do we have to put them in there coop when we leav for a few hours?
12). Do we need a chicken sitter, if we go out of town?
13). We have 2 cats, would they get along with the chickens?
14). How many chickens should we get?
15). Will the chickens be afraid of us?
16). Is it hard to take care of chickens?
17). is it expensive to care for chickens?
