What’s one thing you wish you had known before starting to raise backyard poultry?

Just how noisy chickens can be my girls are so noisy!!!! Glad I have good neighbors.

I had almost 30 but had to downsize the flock. They went where they wanted to go and do what they wanted to do until I got down to around a dozen .They were extremely noisy too

I wish I know that .....

Chickens will steal my heart, make my heartache so bad when one of them pass away.

Chickens will make me feel so joyful and eager pick out chicken feeds, treats and I forgot to shop for more shoes

Chickens will make me feel so loved because my chickens love me.

Chickens will make me feel so tired caring for them when they sick, bullying issues in my flock.

Chickens will reduce all my conversation topic to just CHICKENS, my phone overflow with chicken photos.

Chickens will make me move heaven and earth for them.

Chickens will make me believe that one has not live at all if one had not experience being love by one's chickens.
