Just getting started, I don't even have a coop - much less chickens!

We're in a neighborhood and one of my neighbors is trying to dissuade me from having chickens because they can't guarantee their dogs won't be over to munch on them.

. These will not be free range! lol

Very much looking forward to fresh eggs and chicken entertainment!

Welcome to BYC! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

I hope you can get some chickens soon! If your neighbors' dogs are wandering into peoples' yards, then you definitely need to confine your birds to a safe and secure run. Our coop sections here on BYC are full of helpful info that you may find helpful.

Chickens are sure entertaining and all around fun animals to keep! And nothing can beat those fresh eggs! Here's a couple other helpful links you should take a look at.

Good luck and welcome to the flock!
 
Sounds like you have pretty nervy neighbor. Tell them you think it would be a good idea if they fenced in their dog since you plan other purposes for YOUR yard. Good grief.
 
Welcome to BYC. Glad you decided join our flock. If your neighbor's dogs are a threat to your flock, just make sure you build your coop like Fort Knox. There is a good article at http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2013/07/11-tips-for-predator-proofing-chickens.html on predator proofing your chickens. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck in getting your coop built and in getting your chickens.
