Starting out.

Okay, so I know it's not as easy as throwing a couple of chickens in your back garden and feeding them scraps, so I did a little research. Soon I had a shopping list- On top of the chickens, you need a place for them to sleep/lay, bedding, a run, layer pellets (special chicken food to supplement the scraps), feeders and waterers. So now I knew what I needed the next problem was going to be sourcing the items. Also, I wanted some "hand holding"- not that I expected chicken farming to be particularly difficult and I also know the internet is a great resource but I did feel that I needed a safety net in case of emergency. So between this worry and having to track down all the bits I needed, the idea got put on the back burner.
