Friends are hatching our chicks, so we don’t know exactly how many we’ll be getting.
We built our coop and closed run to hold 12 large chickens, but I don’t want more than 1 rooster, so the quantity we start out with may be less than capacity.
The breeds are mixed. An orpington roo has his choice of buff Orpington, Ameraucana, or black Australorp hens.
Raising chickens is part of reinventing our way of life after the death of my husband. Not only will we get eggs out of the deal, we will be gaining new found confidence and making life gradually more exciting as we move forward.
No longer want to participate in the rat-race world and have always had a leaning toward the small homesteading life. I had a vision in which a chicken was showing me the way, so what the heck, I’m following the chicken. Seems like just as good a direction as any…and you get fresh eggs!
