You are definitely in the right place. Anyone who has chickens, had chickens or wants chickens is welcome here.

Congratulations on doing your research before you make any decisions. Of the breeds you are considering, I only have experience with Easter eggers. Mine are lovely birds; one lays a light green egg and the other an almost pinkish beige egg. They are not particularly noisy birds. They're lively and like to forage in places I'd rather they didn't sometimes, but they are easily called back with the promise of treats. Of course, since EE's have mixed heritage, it's hard to say that all of them are like my Evie and Audrey.

I hope you get the answers you're looking for and are able to start your flock soon. Welcome to BYC!

I joined this forum hoping to get advice since I’m totally new to chickens. In fact, I’m still in the phase where I’m researching and deciding if having chickens will be a good fit for me.

First of all, I’m having a hard time figuring out if I’m allowed to have them in my area. I’m in Tacoma, WA and have looked it up. I believe I can have up to 6 hens (or up to 10 with neighbors permission) in Tacoma. However, do I need to dig deeper and figure out my specific zone or zip code? It’s been kind of confusing so if anyone has any advice for me I’d appreciate it. I do know of a couple different people in different parts of the neighborhood have chickens.

I’m also in a neighborhood. I have a fairly big backyard and I know space won’t be an issue but I don’t want to disturb my neighbors. I don’t think they would mind a little noise, but since I don’t have any experience I have no idea what to expect besides the research I have done thus far.

I am looking to get 4-5 hens and particularly want Ameraucanas, Easter Eggers (or olive eggers), and black Australorps. Any advice/thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Also, like I mentioned before I’m totally new to this website so I apologize if I posted this in the wrong area!
