Our family would like to get started with backyard chickens, but are starting at square one. We live outside of Springfield, IL in a neighborhood with a large yard. Before we get started, I have a few concerns:
1. How noticeable will it be to our neighbors? Should I go to all of them before we jump in, or just ask for forgiveness later?
2. We have 2 golden retrievers. How do you keep bird dogs from attacking the chicks? Is there a good way to train them?
We have 3 daughters, ages 10, 12, and 14. I think they are the perfect age to help take care of a new project like this! We look forward to learning from you all!
