Hi,
I'm thinking of getting 2 chickens and after doing some research, I still need more info. I have a daycare/preschool and am wondering if perhaps I will have to keep the chickens penned up. Will I be able to even let them out alittle bit? I am concerned with the poop on the yard where the kids play. Also, how often do I clean the coop? If I will not be able to let them out, how big should the coop be? How much space do they need if they are always in a cage? I live in a normal city lot. Are 2 chickens plenty for my husband and I. We are not that big of egg eaters. Should we get more, just in case and give the eggs away? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
