I wonder if a chicken thread like similar to the gardening threads would be acceptable?

We are riding the edge of giving it a try but knowing some good first-hand experience sure would be nice!

I started to research and it seemed so wide open on opinions and such that it was overwhelming!

What kind of chickens are y’all getting? I am not even sure where to start. :p

Just start off with some white leghorn layers. Get pullets instead of chicks. They should lay for 3-3 1/2 years.

Our friends and neighbors down the road have a farm with various and sundry critters including many varieties of chickens (which I have baby-sat when they go on vacations). They are a wealth of information and experience. We are lucky.
