Wanting to start a small breeder flock of large fowl chickens. Only wanting 3-4 hens which ever is preferred for a breeding program any help is welcome! But the main question is what size coop could I use. Any pictures and dimensions would be awesome thanks!
I had my first chick hatch and let me tell you it was fun! I'm hooked already I had 23/24 hatch the one died for some unknow reason. A 95% rate I was so worried that I wouldn't even get half that. But the hovabator 1588 made it so easy. Days 1-18 I kept a close eye and kept the humidity at...
Is it okay for the temp to fluctuate from 99.9-100.1? I feel like it won't hurt because it's such a small change and it's not constet. But never hurts to ask right haha
I'm probably going to make a coop/run that's size. How long would you keep 2 dozen in it? I have RIR from a local sotherstates I got last march. Was going to hatch off my best 4 hens and sell the others come fall when my fresh flock started laying.
When should I hatch a new flock out of my best 4 hens? What year they will only be 1 in march and I'm itching to incubate some. Already have a couple people wanting me to hatch them some.
