I had no idea what all went into having chickens until we decided to jump in blindfolded. To say it is a rewarding experience would be an understatement. Before I go any further, I’d like to mention that having chickens is not super involved, it is fun, educational and it’ll add quite a bit of joy to your life.
I found the Tractor Supply chick days pamplet super helpful and full of information.
We started out with 4 female chickens (pullets) which were only a few dollars from Tractor Supply. We kept them in a tupperware while brooding so they would grow and also be kept safe from cold and predators.
They grow quick! Next thing I knew they needed a bigger space.
If you’re on the fence, get backyard chickens. It is so rewarding. Stay tuned for the shed coop reveal.
