We have a small 7acre farm in the NY Heldeberg mountains. Adding chickens this year. Ordered a variety - Cornish X, Barred Rock, Buff Orpington, Speckled Sussex, Partridge Cochin, and a few BBR phoenix, and White Silkie Bantams (for our little one).
Coop is 5x8x6 and they will have over an acre fenced run in between our garden and electrified horse fencing. There's water and power too. We are hoping this will offer more protection from predators.
Our little one has a severe corn allergy and we would love some feed recommendations that are corn free :) And anything else you'd like to share. Thanks for having us!!!
 
Hi :welcome

Glad you could join the flock! I'm sure you will enjoy your new chicken adventures very much. They are lots of fun to keep and very rewarding too. Have you checked out the learning centre? Lots of great articles there to help you keep your flock happy, safe & healthy. Here is the link ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center
I see you have posted in the feeding & watering section, I'm sure members there will be able to help you with the corn free feed.

Wishing you the very best of luck and enjoy BYC :frow

Welcome to Backyard chickens. I don't mean to pry - did you know Cornish x are meat birds? They grow extremely fast and are ready to process for the table I believe at 8-10 weeks of age.
