		JULIE	,

		How many chicken? Do you want eggs or meat or both ?  What space do you 
dispose of.  Can you go free range? Are there coyote, racoons snake, 
possums. check http:// www.mcmurrayhatchery.com. Personally I have 11 rhode 
island reds and two roosters. They provide  eggs for breakfast; a dozen eggs 
  every two days. They come in at night  and take field trips in chicken 
tractor: 8 feet x 4 'x 4' They need dust  for  fleas, water, grain, greens  
from kitchen and some oyster shell or zeolithe  to control odors and shell 
strength. They need to be able to  go up and roost  and need boxes with 
straw to lay eggs in . I also recommend "chicken blues" by the late Clarence 
Gatemouth  brown"
" He heard some noise , took his shotgun, walked to the shed an hollerd who 
is there ? And this is what he heard: Aint' nobody but us chicken.  We 
chicken are trying to sleep, tomorrow is a busy day, got ground to scratch, 
eggs to lay.... Chicken make you happy. Regards Pierre Constans , 
Permaculture designer.
