Thank you. I will speak to my husband about raising them. How high would you recommend

Thank you. your correct they're not araucunas I got the name wrong, which I keep doing they're cream legbars... apologies I keep saying araucunas. We've had this house and chickens for over ten years they've always perched on those, especially the heavy breeds, I'll see how they go but...

We have plenty of room for eight hens possibly more. Free ranging and a chicken protector. These are the two araucuna hens. They seem healthy. All my other hens laying good shelled eggs. Plenty of food, scraps and foraging. I'll wait minimum they are 23 weeks most 27 weeks. Would a rooster...

Two 6ft roosts. This is a purpose built brick building in an area of just over half an acre. Birds are free ranging. Food and water outside house. This is solely for sleeping etc.

I’ve owned goats for many years now, they share roaming with chickens and ducks but have their own night shelter. The most important thing to remember is chicken food is very very BAD for goats so they have to be fed separately which means you can’t leave chicken feed out at all . Goats will...

the first of the ten eggs hatched this morning , bang on day 21. I’ve decided to leave mum in coop and open up second coop for the flock tonight or until the hatching has finished. Looked under mum very carefully, and saw one little chick sitting across the top of the eggs. I can’t see any...
