I kept chickens before in my tween years. But when you live in the suburbs with lack of backyard space. It very hard when my mom doesn’t want to lend back the space where I used to have a decent chicken coop.Have you had chickens before? They are so easy to keep its ridiculous. My big challenge is to make sure the coop is critter-proof. You have so much to look forward to. In the meanwhile you can research what type of chickens you want, how many, what the coop will be like, etc. if you haven't already. Very exciting. Stay safe!
