We are in Florida, about to move to Lynchburg VA. I have six pullets 12 weeks old, 2 marans and 4 starlight green eggers. Our babies are important to us but we don't have anywhere to put them until we can find a permanent residence. We can bring them with us if we find somewhere to keep them in...
Well my husband got a great job offer 1,000 miles away but until we find a house we can't take our chickens with us. Sorry to post the same chicken so many times but now it's more important I confirm gender on this one for placement purposes. We cried about it because we've become so attached...
We have six chickens. I think we will add a vent window at the back where it can be protected by the roof the storms here can produce almost sideways rain. I plan on letting them into the fenced in yard when they can be watched as we have a lot of birds of prey here. Appreciate the compliment...
It's all one structure with one walk in door. We are somewhat urban at the moment so I was going to wait and see if anything tries to dig. Or could we have a disaster overnight? I've never even seen a raccoon here but I know they are here.
as of now the back has a couple inches open at the top (whole top is screened underneath). we are hoping this is enough but can add a window if needed. we are new to this so any advice is appreciated.
Just need finishing touches inside, internally the coop has a vinyl floor, nesting boxes, poop shelf and roosting bars. 100% designed and built from the ground up by us. Total materials cost only around $700. Hours of labor I lost count.
From a mixed batch at rural king labeled "egg layers", somehow several shipments got mixed together and so they sold them all for $1 each because they didn't know either
I went to rural King for something else and they had a bin of "assorted pullets-egg layers" for $1 each because someone "mixed batches" and surprised my reluctant husband. so I got 2 of each color and we ended up with maran, Easter egger and (best guess) gold comet.
We were in the planning phase of chickens but came across a bin of "assorted pullets" at rural king for $1 each as the lots had been mixed up. Needles to say we took six home. We got two of each color. My best guess is australorp, gold comet and Easter egger? They are all very cuddly and we are...
(1) I grew up on a dairy farm and have experience with hoofstock but we never had chickens. I had my husband almost convinced and we happened to be at rural king where they had a bin full of "assorted pullets" for $1 each and the rest is history!
(2) starting with just 6
(3) My best guess is...
