they are true araucanas, I did not get them from a hatchery, and I have one rumpless and tufted, and one tailed and clean faced(the breeders first ever)
I have another question about space...if i have 114 sq. ft. of places where my birds could go in their coop and run, and im going to try to free-range the whole day, how many chickens can I have?
I'm lettting my chickens free-range for the whole day today to see how it works out, think it's a good idea? (the neighbors cats haven't been out lately)
well my neighbors have an outdoor cat and they have looked at our chickens and layed on the rocks staring at the coop countless times, isn't that a problem? (my yard isn't fenced)
thank you! I have an 11' by 6' run, with a little dry part under their house part that is 6' by 4'. Then the house part is also 6' by 4'. And my yard is not enclosed, but it's predators I'm worried about, my neighbors have 3 outdoor cats and there are woods in the back of my yard (ending my yard).
I need a question answered...
if I have 9 chickens how much space IS NECESSARY in the run to house them all (I free-range 3-5 hrs on weekdays, 6-10 hrs on weekends)?
