Hello there,

My name is Dawn and I am new to raising chickens. My husband and I have purchased property and have created a large garden and now with egg prices going through the roof, we have decided to raise chickens for eggs. We have a large family; my adult son, with his 12 year old daughter, and we raise our 13 year old twin grand-daughters. So I am really looking forward to this. I believe I should be able to handle it. As I have bred my Pocket Beagle Lucy twice and all her puppies were very healthy and have gone to happy families. I have the beagle family Lucy (Mom), Stevie (Dad), Tukka (puppy from 1st litter) and Kobie (puppy from 2nd litter). Now that their kennel is completed, I am ready to start with the chickens. I plan on getting a mobile chicken coop to hold up to 6 chickens, but I am leaning to only getting 4.

Any advise for a newbie would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Dawn, you can always start with 4 to see how you like raising a flock and then add as you go (just be sure to build their lodgings bigger than for just 4). Best wishes with your plans.
