Yeah we were just looking for anything quick. Just expanded the coop and left the top open. Way more space but also more vulnerable. Wanted a rooster to help keep the flock safe. Posted several places because so many times you never get a response. We did find one yesterday though and already...

Is he available

Are they still available?

This is a few months old but is he still available?

They shouldn't be so complicated lol

Ok well... If we can't breed our own GC then we will just find any old rooster. That's works. Thanks

So if it doesn't matter then, what would happen if I catch a wild rooster that I have seen around the neighborhood and throw him in there

Say what!!?? We just really like the golden comets. They have awesome temperament with the kids and lay really well etc. Wanted to have more GCs. So you are saying that having a male and female GC will not produce GC offspring. I am relatively still new at this but how does that work?

Just moved to a place where we can have a rooster. Building a much bigger enclosure and wanting to expand our flock naturally. We need 1 Golden Comet Rooster to come join our hens and get it on. Knoxville area in east Tennessee. Can't drive more than an hour away. Willing to pay 15 for the...

We are getting close to starting our first coop. I wanted to describe our situation and get your feedback on anything I might be missing. We live in Knoxville, tn city limits. We can have 6 chickens. Of the 6 they all have to be hens. We are planning to order 3 golden comets and 3 light...

Ok great. I'm going to put some foam and other scrap in the walls for insulation. So I'll make it a little bigger for the sake of heat

Ok. So I'll just make as big an enclosure as I can. I can probably get around 500 sq ft without upsetting city rules. I read somewhere that the coop itself needs to be not bigger than the chickens need to help hold warmth. Is that correct for brahmas

Yeah I found out from another forum that ponds are a bad idea. I didn't know they couldn't swim, but I guess all birds aren't ducks. Thats a good idea to split the run so the other side can grow. Are there at plants chickens like to munch on that will grow back quicker than they can kill it?

Ok good thought. Thanks!

I am on a construction site and have access to a bunch of old rebar. Some is bent some is straight. Does anyone have any ideas of how I could use that in a coop? I don't want to haul crap home and never use it and right now I have no ideas.

I kept seeing things like 10 sq ft per bird when petmanantly penned. I thought 300 sq ft was a lot compared to 60 that I was seeing recommended. How much space will I need. I have more room I just need to get it planned out properly.

all good to know. Ill just stick to the regular waterers. I had a great picture in my mind, but maybe one day ill own a giant natural pond that I can get creative with

ok thank you. This answers my question. I was not sure if chickens would swim or not. I didn't think they could drown. I guess all birds are not ducks.... we are beginner chicken people and don't know much. so no pond then.... what do they do in the wild? I picture whole flocks of drowning...

oh, let me clarify. I wasn't going to put koi in it. I was just going to use the type of pond that you usually see for koi fish. if no fish are present, would it still be bad as a simple watering source?

we are from Knoxville too! getting our first chickens soon!
