Thanks, WFE. I have NamVet neighbor who grew up raising chickens. Have other friends with backyard chickens. I know, I know. One had disease problems brought in by wild birds-she herself got sick. Ugh. lots to think about and plan for, including predators-coyotes, the occasional cougar, wolf population growing in the mountains not too far away-one reason I probably would think hard before getting a goat or 2. no false expectations about chickenkeeping-they'd be freerange, except at night, coop cleaning-yep, well aware that entails work that's not all fun. biggest flock among friends is about 40. They have mobile butcher come out to their place every year.
