Have been thinking about getting a few for our backyard which is in the middle of a subdivision in Katy. Not sure the rule, but think I am going the "better to ask forgiveness" route. No side or back neighbors, so I might be able to keep it secret for a while. Just want to teach the kids and maybe get some fresh eggs.
Any thoughts or tips for other urban chicken farmers? I have a cheap coup I made for the kids I am going to convert. Have a "roach farm" in the garage for the bearded dragon that was going use to supplement the chicken feed.
Should I buy adults, or get some chicks a tractor supply? Or try and hatch some fertilized eggs??
Also, what is the fewest number I should get?
