Hello!
My name is Ericka and I live in Escondido, California. I joined this awesome website/forum because over the last 2 years we've considered raising backyard chickens for egg purposes (and we're bird lovers!).
The only thing that's held us back is my work schedule. My husband works a normal 7-4 pm but I on the other hand work 7 pm-3:30 am. I get home around 4 am. My worry and hesitation comes from my work schedule. I do not wake up until around noon. There in-lies my problem. I can't find any information regarding chicken raising and weird work hours. Chickens/Hen's are early risers from what I've seen (like all birds). Would my schedule be an issue? What are your mornings like? Could the chickens stay in their coop until noon?
We have a parrot but she's weird and she sleeps until I wake up (she is NOT a morning bird lol)
I really would love to have chickens especially since we've turned our backyard into vegetable/flower garden. Our backyard is PLENTY large. Am I dreaming or can this be a reality?
Thank you,
Ericka
