Hi,
I'm in the learning about raising chickens for eggs (and pets) stage of the game. I have a dilemma. My husband doesn't like the idea of waking to the cock-a-doodles each morning, nor will close-by neighbors. Here's my Q.
What is the possibility - I mean, would it even work - to have a visiting rooster once or twice a year? Please don't laugh! It sounds ridiculous I know. But has anyone ever heard of this? I've got houses just steps away and right across the fence...
I thought of speaking with the neighbors once this idea of raising chickens is intact, to get their input...
It's a nice size yard with gardening beds, shed, some shade, with areas of bark for the coop...really perfect.
I'll wait to hear from anyone out there in BYC.
Thanks!
