I had chickens in Phoenix over a decade ago, but the city made us get rid of them after a year. I live now in Utah where I built a coop and bought some chicks in September 2021. They just started laying a few weeks ago. Currently I have 14 hens and 2 roosters. So far they are getting along pretty well, though one of my hens is getting pecked a lot. She's in my dining room recovering now. I have a variety of breeds, I didn't really pay attention just asked for a 2 pairs of 6 then bought 1 each of the remaining breeds the store had in stock. Chickens are a lot of fun to watch and see wander around the yard. Of course I enjoy they eggs, but also plan on using their fertilizer around my fruit trees and field.
Other things I do other than yard work and gardening are skiing, dirt biking, and some electronics.
In addition to the chickens I have two cats, a couple small fish, and my Son's little dog.
I came across Back Yard Chickens on facebook as well as every time I searched for anything chicken related. Seems like a great resource and good people to get to know.

We'll be around in the forums if you ever need any help. What breeds do you have? I'm sure you have a variety.
