What you aren't waitlisted for more yet? Get a move on!The eggs are nice, but really, I ended up obtaining them because it would be something to fuss over, to distract me from my diabetes. The condition was a pain to get used to, but the chickens -- and, more than anything, my family -- helped a lot, I think.
The guineas came next... I can't stand ticks, and guineas are just cool.
It started with six ISA Browns... now, about four years later, I have 18 chickens and three guineas. And I still want more!
Mine destroy the gardens too!!! My mom doesn’t want to let them out anymore because of it.I almost checked the "pest control" box, but then I realized that the chickens themselves are pests. Too many free roaming garden destroyers!
Mine were originally pets and eggs, and still mostly are, but now they also provide great compost for the garden.
That’s amazing!!! My dad is similar. Didn’t like them much at first but now he loves them and talks to them and helped me pick out more breeds last yearx2. I wouldn't keep them strictly to poop (boy that sounds weird, can you imagine saying "I have dogs because I like to bag their poop!") but it's a nice side effect for gardeners. My mother in law even comes to ask for buckets of poop.
I mainly got chickens because I had pet birds throughout childhood and teens, and I wanted to have pet birds again, but not in the house (hubby is mildly allergic to their dander). Figured it was easy to justify chickens because you get eggs out of it too, and they don't take up the space that something like a herd of emus would. Hubby was agreeable at first but not enthusiastic... skip ahead 4 years, and he was the one pestering me to consider getting more chicks!
