My neighbors chicken came to visit, and I fell in love ! Working on building a coop and then order some friendly chicks.

Hi @Wandasue

Glad you could join us here! Chickens sure do have a way of getting you to love them! I'm sure once you get your own chicks you will enjoy this new adventure very much. Have you decided on what breed you will start with?

Good luck and enjoy your time here on BYC

Sounds like the "Welcome Wagon of chickens," Seems like a conspiracy. The neighbors fall in love with the visiting chickens. They decide to get some of their own. BINGO now there are tons of chicken folks who won't complain to animal control about people having chickens. Easy peasy.
