Welcome to BYC. Your job sounds hard, but rewarding. I was a chaplain at a big world reknown hospital for a while, it was not easy- but I wanted to help people when they were suffering. I am sure you and your kids will get a lot of fun out of keeping a flock.. as well as the delicious healthy eggs.
