Hi!! I am Maria from NJ, getting my girls in a few weeks!

[Mariagrazia16]

Hi! I am getting 4 chickens later this month. My town requires a permit for chickens so I have to wait till the 14th to take a class then I can get them. I am renting chickens (the only way I could get my husband to agree to it). I have been reading and watching YouTube videos like crazy. Can't wait for my girls to arrive!!!

Hello Maria, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Beware the YouTube videos. I've seen a LOT of misinformation about chickens and chicken keeping there. Much more inaccurate and bad information than good.

Welcome to BYC, Maria! I also hope your plans work out and permit comes through. Nice to meet you!

Welcome to BYC from another Jerseyan, I'm curious, is there a permit fee?

 

[triciayoung]

Welcome. I didn't know one could rent chickens. How does that work? Also, can you tell us about the "class" you have to take? Just curious.
