Hello, My name is Kevin. I'm from Eastern Washington state (the Tri Cities). If you're unfamiliar with Washington, this is a portion of the state that is dry. We get a lot more sun than Seattle does, and have a lot less trees. Our house is in the city limits. We are allowed to have up to 5 small animals, hens included. Since we already have a dog and cat, this means we can have three birds.
I've never had chickens before, but have been kicking the idea around for a while now. I like to eat healthy and local, and also do a back yard garden. My wife is less excited about the plan, but is on board if I take care of everything. The kids are pretty stoked too.
I like building things for fun and just built a 6x4 a frame tractor, roughly based on what I've seen here and other places online. I don't have any hens yet, and would love to hear ideas for good breeds for a newbie to try, and also if there are any ways to get reasonably priced pullets this time of year so that we can get eggs soon.
