As my name would suggest, I'm debating chickens. I'm sure everyone on here will say yes, but I need to do some research first before taking the plunge and figured this was a good starting point.

I live in MN on 36 acres (28 acres is a private lake) with my husband and our 9 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Kali.

I also have a horse, 22 year old APHA mare named Farah that I have had since she was 2. She is fully retired now due to arthritis.
 
Hello, and welcome to BYC. Set your goals, study the forums and reach your decision. You already have the responsibility of animals so the addition of chickens is just an addition. Plan/prepare and if you decide to establish a flock you will be successful.
 
Welcome!
I hope you decide to get chickens ❤️🐓
They are the best! Such an enjoyable hobby/job to do everyday.

They are sociable, entertaining, and have such amazing personalities!

You can order chicks or started pullets (girl teenager chickens😜) from many hatcheries, or you could look locally.

Hope you get some chickens!

We have actually had 4 hatches of wild ducks this summer so far - 2 Mallards and 2 Wood Ducks. First year that many have survived. Between snapping turtles, Eagles, hawks and some weasels, they don't normally survive very long. But this has been a good year! I think starting with just chickens is my best bet for now. Maybe. Probably. We'll see...
