Hello! I am officially trying to own my own chickens... but i have no idea what i am doing! I am reading a lot before our family commits. I have 2 kids ( 4year old and a 4 month old). 2 cats and 1 dog. Here are my questions
1. safety/ cleanliness: is it really that bad? is there going to be poop everywhere and we will track it into the house?
2. space: Like i said i live in the city wondering if we have enough space for them. I would only want 2 at most 3. Our property is 6,000 sq ft, house is about 1,100 square feet. we have somewhat of a big yard
3. Diseases: are they really getting sick all the time? Lice? wierd things in their tongues... ( I came across some interesting pictures) I guess my question is are they very fragile? Worried about cost of medicines and overall grossness haha
Any tips and advice is much appreciated!!!
