    ok I know this has nothing to do with a dog or cat so forgive me. We are thinking of getting a few chickens no more than 3 , we havew a large fenced area seperate from where dogs are and a huge old dog house that my hubby said he can convert into a coop, he had chickens as a kid, me never, was wondering if any of you have experience in raising chickens. they will basicaly just be pets not raising for any other reason, maybe get somes eggs as bonus but basically my daughter has always wanted a chicken. so any helpfull advice, pros cons, would be appriciated, chicks come in early next month.
    Thanks,
    Elaine
