Hi I'm about half a year into raising my first flock of chickens. In my english class we're doing an essay about anything we want so I chose chickens. I was wondering if anyone knows approx. how many people in the U.S. (who aren't farmers) own chickens and the rate of popularity growth. Thanks so much to anyone who answers!
