Australorp

I will start by saying that I love Australorps. In fact, my very favorite hen is an Australorp. She is such a sweet chicken and just let's you walk right up to her to pick her up. She doesn't run...

Started a small flock of six Black Sex Links here in Mooresville, NC. My husband made my coop for Mother's Day & birthday gift. Really looking forward to fresh eggs!

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

The only thing I would change about that GREAT coop is to put hardware cloth on the bottom few feet of the run to keep raccoons from reaching in.

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?
