You learn as you go.<BR/><BR/>As for Rosters, where not keen on eating fertilized eggs and don't want baby roosters, as we don't eat meat and would have to keep them all to keep them safe.Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10815273487961750807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17745991.post-1153827711617056762006-07-25T21:41:00.000+10:002006-07-25T21:41:00.000+10:00Is this the first time you've had chickens? We're...Is this the first time you've had chickens? We're looking to get a house with some land and I really hope to do so somewhere that I can try having a few chickens. No roosters - just laying hens. And I don't think I want to go with the smaller bantams since I figure standard eggs are easier to work with.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and bees. I also think it'd be cool to have a bee hive or two.<BR/><BR/>So how much work has getting started up with chooks been?Jephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843262392217281569noreply@blogger.com
