Just wondering if any of you knowledgable people will be able to shed some light on the ins and outs of getting chickens.
I have looked into the equipment and the chickens and have even started updating my policies to include chickens e.g. hygiene policy, petting policy, etc but before I take the plunge and buy anything I wanted to know if there are any childminders out there who have chickens but do not own their home, more along the lines of do I need to ask permission to keep them from the council???
I have scouted the internet and some sites have chickens listed as a 'domestic' animal so if this is the case then if I am ok to have a cat, dog, etc I should be ok to have chickens????
I live in the north east area so if there are any childminders in this area who are in the know how about this then please please get intouch. The more I think about it the more I really want to get them but just dont want to get into trouble for it:panic: My garden is really large so space isnt a problem.
Thanks
