I love the way she set up her separate areas.  I have been looking for ideas on how to separate my large hen house (not nearly as large as hers) in two parts.  Thanks for the solution.  wee.gif

 

 

I also have geese and they enjoy a space of their own too.

So? With 10 chicks and 15 chicks being the same price (within $.90) do I order 10, and keep my coop as is, or 15, and start building (and ordering even MORE chicks!)?

Hey Motorcyclechick!

 

Be careful...chicken math is starting to affect you!  I turned a cabinet into a brooder, and the day after it was complete, 25 babies showed up in the mail!  I thought I'd have a little egg-laying going on with 6 hens - now I have 25 birds, half of them Buckeyes, and am hurriedly trying to complete coop #2 for the Buckeyes!  If I were you, I'd order the 15 birds and increase the coop size!  But be very careful of chicken math!

Gittin' older, but not agin'!

 

Starting again - and enjoying it!  3 Rhode Island Red hens, 3 New Hampshire Red hens, 3 Barred Rock hens, 3 Ameracauna hens, 1 Buckeye hen - wait! Chicken math...while I was completing the brooder, 12 more Buckeye pullets and 2 Buckeye roos...a total of 27 birds!  Need a bigger coop...time to build the Buckeye Boudoir!
