My name is Shawna.
I don't have chickens, but am considering taking the leap. We are a family of four, and my youngest (17 month old little girl) eats eggs like most kids eat candy. She would eat 6 or more a day if I let her. I'm trying to live a more natural life style, and have just tried my hand at gardening this year.
What I'm hoping to learn from this site is as much of the ins and outs of chicken "farming" as possible. What breeds would be best for our climate/family? What is the start-up and maintenance cost for chickens? How many should I get? Can chickens and ducks live together? I will be reading through the forum pages in hopes of finding the answers to these and many other questions.
I look forward to learning from all of you wonderful folks!
