Newbie in Delaware

People call me Crissy, I currently am a custodian for a local school. I recently became interested in raising chickens and am looking to educate myself on the ins and outs of it. I want to have "pets" but them to be useful as well. Looking forward to being able to start this new adventure.

Hello Crissy, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

Hello! Welcome to BYC! Chickens are of course very useful for eggs! What a lot of people do not realize is how big their personalities are! Very entertaining! And they can be great pets given plenty of attention when they are chicks!

Welcome to BYC, Chrissy! Chickens make great and useful pets, and each one has its own personality. Sometimes a flock will behave just like the kids at your school! Other times they will surprise you. There is never a dull moment.

Cool!

Where do you recommend getting chicks from? How much do they run cost wise?
