    Welcome! My niece just moved here and wants to join 4-H to show my bantam cochins! I have 5.5 acres...it's great for chickens! Just remember to plan for safety and predators!

    Six acres is a nice size spread. You'll have plenty of room when you do get some chickens. Do you have any breed preferences?

    Welcome to BYC! With six acres you can do most anything. I'd go crazy with that much room to fill with chickens!
