Hello all,
I'm new to the chicken community and I want to raise chickens for eggs. However, I work full-time and I have three kids (we're looking at expanding our human flock in the near future), but for now we'd like to expand our chicken flock. I have so many questions.
Is it possible to work full-time and raise chickens (and kids)?
We have an Australian herding dog, will he try to ear our chickens once we decide to buy?
Are there breeds that adapt well in the winter? And if so, is starting in the winter okay or should I wait until spring?
Is sickness prevalent?
My neighbors said they had chickens once and it attracted mice, is this true?
Any advice is welcome.
Thank you!
Hannah
