There are some other threads where this is discussed and we have several members who have chickens. I got rid of mine a few months back. Remember EVERYTHING wants to eat a chicken. Rats, rat/chicken snakes and flies are a pain in the behind, for sure. I kept chickens for years but decided I was tired of working for them, plus I had the meanest rooster this side of the Mississippi. Got tired of fighting that jerk all the time. They are fun to watch but when you have a good sized flock, they are a lot of work. Good luck and check around for some of the other threads about chickens. We have some very savvy members with loads of experience.


Be kind to one another and tell the ones you love that you love them often. We never know what tomorrow will bring.
