Hello! I recently bought 13 Production Red or Cherry Egger chickens, and as I was looking online for little tips and information, I came across this website and figured I should join! All of my chicks are about 3 weeks old now! So if anybody has any tips or information about Production Red chickens, or different ways to keep my chicks "people friendly", I would really appreciate the help!

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?
