It wasn't my idea. Actually, if you told me last year that I would be raising chickens soon I would say you're a funny guy/gal.
I was told/threatened/warned we were getting chickens at some point since some friends were sharing their experience of raising a backyard flock. Since I didn't know much of anything about chickens, I do my research on where/when to buy, and where to get information (here!) on chicken raising adventures. This went on a few weeks, then we found a local supplier and 80 bucks and a few hours later we had week old chicks and supplies in our living room.
Fast forward 6 months, untold sums of money to build a coop/run, and our first week of eggs from our alpha hen, here I sit, glad to have been involved in this journey. I wouldn't go back to not having them.
Now the problem is that I want more than I'm allowed. People think I'm nuts for having chickens...
