what is the PERFECT number of chickens for a small backyarder???
My answer is "one more than the permit says I can have." Because you should always have a spare, right? And there are 5 of us, and we each wanted to pick out a chick at the store...
A lot of towns with urban chicken rules limit to 6. Watching my flock, I think 6 to 8 would be a good number.
