Total Newbie!

[Then Sings My Soul]

I’ve wanted to raise chickens ( for eggs ) for sooo long. Our city ( in a big metroplex) is one of the few that doesn’t allow chickens, but we’re moving and the new place will have 1/2 acre lot and allows chickens. I’ll be soaking up EVERYTHING chicken over the next 6 months (the good, the bad and the ugly!!)! while our new home is being built.

Ha! So funny you say that! Boots are the only and first thing I’ve bought! Thanks for the smell warning.

I haven't found that they stink very much.

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Hmmm. My coop, run and pen don't stink either. There is a lot to be said about proper coop and run size for the flock and good manure management.

Welcome Doing the research is almost as much fun as actually having the chickens. Good planning makes everything much easier. However, there will always be things crop up that are unplanned. Never a dull day in chickenland!
