peckingham palace Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Dont worry about it, run with it. I ordered 4 hens originally then changed my mind to 6, a so called friend put me off 6 telling me they are a lot of work so I changed my order back to 4 in fear and trepidation. Got 4 girls on a Thursday and by the Saturday went to buy another 2 and then another 3 the following weekend. The morehens the merrier PS I also have dogs, cats etc and all get along fine.

What's the deal with friends scaring us with how much work chickens are? I know they require care but isn't the point to enjoy caring for them? I would love to get even more but i'm afraid we will need a little more land... hmmmm.... I have two ridiculous little dogs and an almost two year old. We're trying for another baby soon. The more the merrier! Can't wait till I can have bees and ducks, too!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
