Believe you can and you’re halfway there
My name is Tolu and I keep backyard chickens. I started keeping chickens when I was 10 years old and now I'm 11. If you have a dream of keeping chickens in your backyard, I can promise that if you work hard and believe in yourself, it's possible for you to do it too! To help you along in your new journey, I would be happy to answer any questions you have. Feel free to leave me a message with your email on my contact page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear
To ease any nerves you may have about pursuing an undertaking like this one, I can assure you that although at first it can seem like a hard task, as I learned more about my chickens and fell into a productive routine, it became an enjoyable and even rewarding part of my life.

It would be ideal to start with three or four birds as a larger number could make them unfriendly to each other and also, they will be easier to manage seeing as there are only few. You could take in larger numbers if you’re happy with your poultry-skills.
Backyard chickens eggs are as safe as the eggs you would see in your supermarkets and research has shown that free range eggs are actually healthier, with lower levels of cholesterol and hydrogenated (saturated) fat and higher levels of Vitamins A and E and omega-3 fatty acids.
Chickens can live for 5 to 10 years, but their lifespan depends on their breed and living conditions.
It is illegal to feed chickens restaurant food or scraps seeing that it can cause cross-contamination and if you have a large flock it could lead to mass avian disease.
