TLDR: I need advice on raising chickens for eggs. It would be my first time ever trying something like this.
We don't have regular access to homegrown eggs so the Cleveland Bitcoin (nprofile…mav2) Circular Economy Bitnic was a blessing. In fact, the eggs were so good, they helped me finally convince my wife to let me start chickens! I was in part inspired by @Otis_Bitmeyer who said something along the lines of "figure out a way to become a useful producer".
I never really had pets as a kid and certainly know nothing about chickens. I live in an HOA but idgaf and willing to risk the karens. My initial thought is to properly fence in the ~300sqft space i have under my 2nd floor deck and make some sort of chicken run along the outside. Im very handy so no worries building something if its not too time consuming.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I don't know the first thing about their care and what it takes. I also live in zone 6b with very snowy cold winters (assuming that matters) and we constantly have hawks flying overhead and coyotes/raccoons in the area.
Thank you Nostr for giving me the resources and confidence to do the things I never thought I could.
