Hello!
I'm new here so please keep that in mind, I will update the below photos once we've added more. We moved our coop today and it's a work in progress! I made a post for suggestions as to what to put on the bottom of the run, since it's concreate atm.
We have 4 chickens, Maple, Aspen, Magnolia and Hazel, An Ameraucana, Silver Wyandotte, Light Brahma and a Rhode Island Red!
Maple is 3 Months.
Aspen is 3 Months.
Magnolia is 1 Month.
Hazel is 1 Month.
(Yes they're all named after trees btw.)
We bought Maple and Aspen back in April, as well as another called Willow! Willow decided to be a rooster so we rehomed him to my husbands mother, who has 15+ hens and he is very happy! Friendliest rooster! I see him every Sunday.
Magnolia and Hazel we bought on the 25th June! They're still inside with us until they get a little bigger.
Our chickens run all day in the garden, they don't stay in the coop/run. I know on a previous post I made people seemed concerned about my run size but I did mentioned my chickens don't stay in the run. They only go into the coop to sleep, and they pop into the run for food & water. Please let me know if I still need to get a bigger one with 4 chickens, the coop I bought said 6-8 chickens, so I assumed it was a good buy! Especially since they free range in out garden.
My chickens have pretty much been super spoilt, and when I say spoilt I mean being inside the house at night having nice aircon while it's been 80f at night. I've only allowed this for now since we're new at chickens and I don't like seeing them panting! It's been 100+f during the day, I give them fresh water at least 4-5 times in the day, I've even added ice into their water. I also give them frozen berries and I put frozen water bottles around the garden. Please let me know of any other pointers!
I do treat my chickens and I hope I don't over do it, Though they mostly have feed, I do give them lettuce, broccoli, etc in the mornings and sometimes in the evenings. I also give them mealworms from time to time but I know not to overdo it with those since they're fattening. Again let me know if this is ok!
We are very new with chickens but I know Bryan (My husband) his mother has had chickens for years, she has about 15+.
I will definitely add photos of our 4 chickens here as well once I get some updated photos!
Thanks for reading! I will update this as we work on the coop.
