There is plenty space. Haven't watched interactions at roost time. May be some bullying.

I've been raising layer hens for several years now. I have Leghorns,Orpingtons, and Barred Rocks. About 30 hens in all. I wanted some colored eggs, so I ordered a dozen auracanas, may be miss spelled. These new birds are about 3 months old, and they are still sleeping on the ground. I put a few...

They went out last evening. Everyone returned to roost right on cue. Yeay! Thanks everyone.

My predator problem is significant enough that I don't think I'll ever be able to freerange unsupervised.

Thanks for the advice. I suspected the correct answer was somewhere in between. The girls will get their first outing this evening!

I'm a total nubie here, so sorry if this question is asked alot, didn't know how to search for it. I finished my coop and run last weekend. went and got 10 Black Australorps 15 months old.Averaging 8 eggs a day! How long should I keep them confined before it will be safe to start...

Hi Elizabeth, what kind of chickens do you have?

Oh yeah, Keith is my Hero,lol. We started out together. He used to be on East. We are located in the Curve Community.Have you not been through our Haunted Trail?

My coop is about 70% complete. I have located 8 Buff Orpington pullets 6 months old, Alex Wilson. I'll be taking delivery as soon as completion. Hopefully within a week or two. And I am the fire chief at East Lauderdale Fire Department. You may have been through our Haunted trail. I probably...

You should be proud. It looks really nice.

Thanks for posting. I love your plan.I hpoe you don't mind me copying and making a few changes. My run is 16 ft long, and I left off the top laying boxes.What do you think the maximum occupancy should be, and would you do anything differently?

Thanks, that sounds like good advice. You hear that Connie? Sumi said I need a Lavinder Orpington Rooster chick, to help me heal. LOL

I agree you're gonna have too many chickens. One too many the best I can figure. Any way I can deal you out of one of those Lavender Orpingtons?

What breeds are you hatching?

Hey Connie, Sounds like you're incubating cats.

As a small boy I remember my grandmother's chickens, lots of them , all free ranging. I got flogged by a rooster when I was three. Ok that's all the backgroung I'm giving. I've been wanting to have some laying hens for a long time now, but the wife was against it. She grew up with chickens and...

I was speaking of Wilson . Steve and his son Alex. I believe Alex runs the operation, Steve just bankrolls it.Ha

Hey Connie, I'm glad to hear from Lauderdale county. I live on Curve Nankipoo road, and am just getting started. I have spoken to Alex W. about getting some Buff Orpington pullets. Are you familiar with his operation?

I like it!

I am an absolute beginner. My grandmother had chickens when I was a small boy, and I've always wanted to have a few hens. I have been reading as much as I can on this website and believe it to be a valuable resource. After browsing through coop designs, I settled on the Maxwell house coop.They...
