Hi everyone!
We have been wanting chickens for a while and I think hubs is finally convinced to dive in next spring so I want to spend the fall building a coop and run. We have raccoons in the area so it will need to be fort Knox to keep the trash panda out.
We rent a home and live in the inner suburbs of a city. Landlord will be signing off before we start any building. Per ordinances we are allowed 4 hens no roosters and no free ranging. However they only enforce it if the neighbors complain. The neighbors around the corner free range their chickens all the time and there are many homes exceeding the 4 chicken limit. However we will be sticking to 4 to 6 chickens max I think just for logistics.
I'm a mom of 2 boys under 5 so we will be trying to make sure we have more docile and friendly breeds. I've done a lot of reading already and hope to learn a lot more. We have several friends with chickens too so that helps.
My older kiddo only eats fresh eggs so we really want to get some chickens so we aren't having to track down farm fresh eggs every week.
I have been looking at all the great tips here and I cannot wait to join you all raising chickens
