sounds familiar! I swiveled repeatedly as I changed my mind on which breeds to get. I think it's good to take time over these decisions, after all, you could have the birds for 8 years or so!Thank you! I'm not quite sure of breeds yet. I keep deciding on some, then changing my mind, then changing my mind again. At least I have plenty of time to decide. As for numbers, probably six. We live in the suburbs, and even though our city has no limits (just no roosters), I think that number is manageable for us. We want them mainly for eggs. I'm hoping to be able to gift some eggs to our neighbors so they will be happy with the chickens too. Our plans are to get some property in the future, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and start our own little homestead.
