Do you have backyard/pet chickens at your home daycare as part of your learning experience?

I would love to, however, chickens are not allowed in city limits.

As soon as we buy a house, we'll get some, but we rent a duplex right now, so no...

Yes; we currently have 4 chickens. I love them, and so do the kids! They've gotten very good at catching/carrying them, shooing them back into their coop (they free range while we're outside), finding treats for them to eat, and checking for eggs. (And, unfortunately, well versed in predator/prey relationships, but that's valuable education as well.)

No but I would love to. Unfortunately we are not allowed them within the city

Yes we currently have 5 hens. We have three Barnevelders and two Americaunas. The B's lay beautiful dark brown eggs, one of the A's lays pink eggs, the other A lays blueish green eggs.

yes, we just got 6 chicks and it is amazing how fast they grow. I live in a city- best to check your city codes, every place is different. I know that mine can't be near the kid's, so many feet away. Fun-

I would LOVE to have a couple of chickens, but DH says no. Not that it matters what he says, the city says no, too

We don't have any either because the city doesn't allow it

I would enjoy some chickens.

We don't have chickens. We have neighbors up the street who have a few and they're constantly in the road, getting in the way of drivers. They also wander around in another neighbor's yard, charging at her kids. I'm annoyed enough at those chickens that I have no interest at all in owning my own!

We have about 8 chickens and they got out one day, walked down the street to Taco Bell and was standing at the door looking at the customers!

I had a neighbor come tell me but it took 5 minutes for her to stop laughing to get out the words..
