After multiple years of my wife trying to convince me we should get chickens, I finally agreed it might be fun and rewarding. We live in Albuquerque, NM and the city allows up to 15 chickens (way more than I want). We saw a pretty slick coop at Sam's club we are thinking about buying so we can keep 2 or 3 of them. We live in typical tract housing with a fairly small lot and yard so I don't want to go overboard. I'm hoping this will be a fun experience and education for our home-schooled 10 and 12 year-old daughter and son as well.
I do have a little experience with raising chickens because my mother and step-father had many of them during my childhood. But I lived with my father so it wasn't much experience except when I visited in the summer. I'm looking forward to learning the basics and maybe getting connected with the local backyard chicken community for help, advice and acquiring some chickens.
