Carrollton, Va.
I recently moved to the county and for a long time have wanted BYC's. I am still in the research/study phase and will begin building the coop this winter and get chicks in the fall. Figured i'd start with two RIR's or Plymouth Rocks. My one main concern is that my backyard is well landscaped and i am concerned about them destroying my landscaping. I will be on here frequently trying to absorb all the information i can and occassionally asking silly questions.

My other hobbies include Purple Martins and tinkering with my Mustang.

In your post you said you were getting chicks in fall, did you mean spring?
 
Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

Chickens can do a job on landscaping - the more birds you have and the more confined to the garden areas they are, the more damage they do. there are several things you can do to protect garden areas, such as small fences to keep them out, and laying fencing flat and allowing the plants to grow through it to discourage scratching.
