Hey all!
My name is Fallon, I'm a single mom who has had chickens in the past when my parents had them and will be getting into the game again soon, with our own hens.
My son became obsessed with chickens about theee months ago, and has been asking for them non-stop. We will be raising hens for eggs, and manure. I'm also contemplating getting quail to free-range in the garden, and a bunny to house with the chickens. Ideally I would like to start with chickens that are already established being that my 19 month old gets into everything he isn't supposed to and I work full time so chicks at this point in time may not be the most conducive to our life.

Guess that's all for now!

Hi Fallon and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us. I agree that pullets are likely to be more toddler proof than chicks
