Well I currently have a coop that is 3x4 so I figure it is large enough for 4 hens. I've drawn up plans for a coop that is 8x4. I can legally have 12 hens. So I'll keep 4 until I've finished the coop, then I'll add 8 more. It'll take me a while because I don't get much time off from work.
Got a golden buff (just another name for a gold sex link, like a golden comet I assume) and a barred rock. I'm already addicted, I'm going to go pick up another two black australorps today!
I want to get some golden comets, i don't want to have to order online. Does anyone know if they have GCs at chickens galore or can anyone reccomend a reputable breeder in socal that does? Google didn't turn up anything
Wow! I wasn't expecting so many responses so soon. Thank you all for the advice. The new house if in wildomar. Not too far from you hosspak! What is a tetra tint? What color do they lay?
I've been dreaming of starting a flock and have been reading up on here and in a few books for years. Never had a landlord that would allow chickens, but we just purchased our first home and according to zonining laws I can have a flock of 12!
My plan is to start off with 6 birds and add more...
