[Ag-eq] anyone out there

[Nella Foster]

Susan:

I'll be sure to let you know if I see something really exciting.

What kind of chickens do you keep?

I've thought about getting a few hens for eggs.  Maybe this is a dumb 
question, but would the hens lay if there isn't a rooster around?

You're not really suppose to have roosters in the city limits; I think this 
law had something to do with cock fighting, but not sure.  I live within the 
city limits, so don't want any problems.  I was thinking about getting 3 
hens; what do you think?

Also do you know if there are types of chickens that handle the heat better 
than others.  It frequently gets over 110 here, so I'm concerned about it.

How much space do you think chickens should have?

I would have to build an enclosure for them, since I don't want them all 
over the neighborhood.  I would make sure they have plenty of shade.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you.

Nella
