Hello all, I am considering getting a few chickens to raise in my backyard. I live in Babylon on Long Island. Does anyone raise chickens in the area? I'd like to visit a backyard setup and pick your brain. Also, anyone in the area have a favorite chick and supply store? Thanks in advance.

You'll save yourself a lot of heartache if you check with the city or town hall and find out IF it is legal to have chickens FIRST. Welcome to the Backyard chickens flock

Good luck with getting your first flock. Do follow drumstick diva's advice and check ordinances first. For ideas I would suggest spending time in the coop/run sections, there are so many great examples there. And do explore the learning center articles. There may be some coop tours in your area, try a google search? But, just because someone has a coop and chickens doesn't always mean they are the best example to follow, research it for yourself to see what suits your style and offers the optimum way to raise your flock.


Feel free to ask questions, we are here to help.

Hope you can get your own flock.
