I'm 13, almost 14 and i got interested when my younger brother's farm friend came over and then in sept i borrowed a '98 Mcmurray magazine. Though most in my class (most of the class means most of the guys, who most of them have told their parents) think i won't be able to pull of raising or even getting chickens because i live smack in the middle of the city, but i keep telling them what my mom told me-our property is zoned farm-residential-i could have a cow if my neighbors tolerated it. I almost wish i lived in the U.S. because of the right to farm law. I want to raise chickens because it develops responsibility, and my almost 18 year old neighbor who our family grew up since she was four, absolutely loves chickens, and even my dad helps me plan/supports me.
