Borderline "Losing It"...
Some of you may think we're crazy, and you might not be mistaken, but on our quest to be a little stranger than most we have decided that we are going to keep chickens at our house.
We don't plan to have a Rooster at this time, but you never know. At this point, we're in the research stage as none of us have ever done this before. I am looking up information on building a Do-It-Yourself Chicken Coop with a run for around 8-12 Hens.
From what I understand, it's best to start out with adult chickens before trying to raise them. This should be fun. I'm sure there will be all kinds of adventures involved. We're also plotting a good-sized garden to get some vegetables and herbs growing at the house. It's about 30ft x 30ft so far. We're going to try our hand at some organic hippie stuff.
If you've got any insight or leads for info on getting into chicken farming please let me know. If you're a personal friend of ours...look out for some fresh eggs sometime in the near future.
