I would be interested in peoples stories of why they started
For myself I was going to raise chickens for meat and eggs.
After getting them the meat part went out the door it never will happen here so then it was then only for eggs.
I joined BYC right away, actually before getting the chickens and thought these people are a bit nuts calling them pets and saying they have personalities etc.
After getting them they were so cute as day old chicks and now raising them for almost 5 months they do have personalities and most certainly are pets I have 25 and quite a few of them have their own way of doing things and they all seem to act quite different from one another.
I thought I would enjoy the chickens, but I really enjoy it every day more than I would have imagined something interesting will happen with them each day.
