Having Backyard Chickens is much more than just adding a few more pets to your home, Its adding much more than that. Before you decide on getting Chickens Do the research and decide if Backyard Chickens will be right for you...
First off, There is a lot of work involved with owning chickens, You have to first build them a proper coop, and to do that you need to decide how many chickens you want to have, and then you decide if you want to make your coop big enough where you can add more chickens later or maybe you want to eventually raise your own chickens from eggs, so be sure to consider this before you pick the coop that is right for you. Another thing to keep in mind is that (and this is a fact, you will hear all Backyard Chicken owner say this) Backyard Chickens are very addictive, you usually cant just stop at a couple hahaha!!!
Now, after you have decided on how big your chicken coop and run is going to be, you need to pick the right flock for you!! There are so many different kinds of chickens out there, Are you getting backyard chickens mainly as pets, do you want eggs everyday, Are you planning on raising chickens from eggs later? Are you planning on eating your chickens (I could never eat mine, all though I love eating chicken, my girls are off the menu) How is your climate, do you have hard winters, very hot summers, all these things are something that you should consider and research to be sure you are choosing the right flock for you!
