Hi everyone,
I just moved with my husband and 2 young daughters to the countryside in Northern California on some acreage and initially thought, what better way to initiate the new lifestyle than to get 6-10 chickens as pets and let them free range all over our property. Catch is, I get sick if I eat more than 1 egg in a sitting, our family only uses maybe half a dozen eggs a week, we travel A LOT, I’m somewhat lazy when it comes to cleaning, and we have too many birds of prey in the area to free range.
Am I crazy for still wanting to get chickens? I’m beginning to rethink this..
Has anyone ever regretted having chickens, or am I just speaking an alien language to a bunch of chicken fanatics?
