Do you want fresh eggs every day? Do you have a tick problem? Then you may want to get backyard chickens. Many people are now getting chickens, even in urban areas. There are a few things to take into consideration before purchasing chickens.

Do your research. The very first thing you would want to do is to first check with your town or city to see if they allow chickens in your neighborhood. Some towns and cities do allow you to have chickens in your area, but they may not allow roosters. (You do not need roosters for your hens to lay eggs.) They may also require you to have a certain amount of acreage in order for you to have them. You will also need to find out which breed of chicken will best fit your needs. Some hens are better foragers (they eat more bugs), and others are better layers, and some may be quieter than others. And then, you will have to think about what kind of housing will be best for you and your chickens.

So these are just a few things to think about before getting your chickens. If you do your research, you will be in a better position to take good care of your backyard chickens.
