My neighbor had chickens.....I think about a dozen of them....thinking a dozen eggs a day!.....I think the MAJOR mistake was when he got the ROOSTER!!!! We are smack dab in the middle of a residential neighborhood with a strict HOA....that rooster would get out and visit all over the neighborhood, crowing at all hours.....I LOVE crwing roosters, but someone did not! and all the chickens and the rooster is history! I USED to have chickens...you do not need a rooster to make eggs! That is what God put chickens here to do....make eggs!! Now if you want biddies, you will need a rooster to fertilize those eggs.....but just the hens and you should be able to "hide" the chickens....if you have nice neighbors that wont see them in your back yard or in the coop, and report you! Good luck! When I move up to my brothers property, I want chickens....there are chickens that lay low cholesterol eggs....healthier eggs....cant think of the name of the breed of chicken, but I KNOW someone on here will know!!! They are a funny looking, fancy chicken....Chineese or something, I think! |
