Hi everyone, love the site I'm not new to raising chickens, but haven't had any for several years. My oldest daughter and I inherited a piece of property jointly and we are living on it now. we decided to create a small critter menagerie, the property is just a little over an acre so everything is going to have to be small. We're starting out with chickens, just 6, which we are purchasing this week at a farm store. We decided to start with baby chicks instead of buying ones already laying. My daughter's grandson/ my great-grandson is with us 90% of the time and we want to teach him the love of raising and loving little critters, he's 5 and loves being outside. Of course they will be mostly pets with a side benefit of giving us a few eggs, but that will be just fine. Later, in the near future, we plan to get 2 pigmy goats, a pair of ducks, and a pair of rabbits. which will all benefit our garden also. Also I recently saw a video about a huge chicken called a Brahma breed and fell in love at first sight, If anyone has information on how to acquire baby chicks it would be appreciated. That's it for now , going to really enjoy being on the site
