At one time, I had 107 chickens. Never again. I ended that by giving most to a community bbq and turning the rest out on the farm to fend for themselves. They didn’t last long.
I may get my brother to raise me 4 or 5 to large enough to fight back.
Neighbor has chickens, and I get some eggs from them sometimes, but I'd like to have a few myself for bug patrol.
