The Joy of Chickens!

[errantember]

As of 3 PM tomorrow, I will officially Have Chickens.

A good deal came up on the local Permaculture group, and I recognized that my endless string of Good Reasons Not to Get Chickens Yet had begun to stink of habit, so I pounced. Originally I was supposed to get them *today*, but luckily my source flaked out a day, so now I have time to engage in helpful chicken-related activities like, say, building a chicken coop, learning how to treat them, thinking about how to prevent my dogs from killing them, etc.

I'm on Back Yard Chickens even as we speak.

My roommate doesn't know yet. Won't he be surprised!

Yay chickens! I look forward to hearing of your adventures in chicken herding.

Have fun and good luck. Avoid the vermin...having your chickens eaten is sad.

JEALOUS!! :) What kinds of chickens are you getting? I have always wanted to have laying flock of Arcaunas and have done all kinds of research on urban chicken keeping. Can I come visit them?

I am jealous and happy for you! :) It's always been a dream of mine to raise chickens and perhaps even bees.
