Thanking you all in advance for any help you provide.
I have recently moved to PR. have a nice sized back yard and am contemplating raising some chickens for both meat and eggs. I look forward to enjoying their beauty in the yard as well. I initially fell n love with the ~Guinea but was advised they will fly away, although they are known for keeping the garden clean of pests, etc..
a- where will you recommend that I start, in terms of breed(s)
b- is it possible to have different breeds, if so how does one manage this.
c- will the chickens do harm to the vegetable and herb garden,
d- will there be any difficulty with other pets (dogs and/or cats)
e- is a coop a necessity
f- will they need feed in addition to free range
g- how will one go about purchasing a particular breed, if it is not available in PR
