My main reason for joining is to find a community that buy a, sells, and has real Las Vegas area experience with chickens. I am slowly installing a garden and have had problems with bugs eating my goods. Also I want to teach my kids to raise animals. We already have a shelter for the chicks and I will be planting plants they like to nibble on. The backyard is large, plenty of shade, and hidey holes. Also going to get a guard goose. But I need a place to start where I'm not wasting my money. Friendly chicken loving people who care will make this new journey so much easier.
