[QUOTE="maintenanceguy, post: 487793, member: 24227"] I grew up with a lot of chickens. We had eggs in something every day and had chicken quite often. Some things to consider: [list][*]Don't know your climate but in cold places like NJ, Chickens need a draft free coop. They can stay warm enough to survive if there is no draft [*]They need a lot of space. Chickens stuck close together will peck each other to death. Once a chicken has gotten a pecking wound, the other chickens will peck that wound until they kill that bird. [*]You will need to get them into the coop and locked up every night to protect them from predators. [*]Predators will still get them. Raccoons, hawks, snakes, mink, foxes, and probably more like chicken. Tastes good and doesn't run fast. [*]Clip their wing feathers or they will fly away. [*]Chickens are dirty animals. Everything will be covered in chicken droppings. [/list] [/QUOTE]
