In the Brooder
Just introducing myself... I live in Red Deer, Alberta and am wanting to have 3-4 backyard chickens (that's the maximum allowed in the city here). I'm in "information gathering" mode right now and want to prepare as well as I can ahead of time for the additions to our family. It's just my husband and I and our two Bernese mountain dogs. We have a big backyard that I put raised beds in last year and I would like to add a chicken coop/run to it this year.
I do a lot of gardening here at the house and I also have a big community garden plot about 10 minutes away (by walking).
Currently I'm trying to find a coop or plans for a coop that will house a small flock and then I'd like to figure out what breeds of chickens would be appropriate for city life. (I have a troublesome neighbor who yells at me whenever I operate a power tool in my backyard so I'd like to find a breed that is quiet but also good at laying.)
Looking forward to filling my time reading about people's chicken experiences!!
