    Expanded Coop And Chicken Run!! PICTURE HEAVY!!

    Thank you all!! My son is very responsible and he does a wonderful job with the chickens. He understands they they rely on him for life. He also is learning the business side of things.

    Expanded Coop And Chicken Run!! PICTURE HEAVY!!

    My 12 year old son was given 7 more hens (4 barred rocks, 1 rhode island red and 2 white plymouth rocks/barred rocks), to go along with his original flock of 18.

    Hi MissPrissy, I don't think we will be doing the bator thing. Not sure how to raise chicks, but as I have found out on this forum, you can "never say never". It would be a fun adventure and one I am sure we would all enjoy (I think I am talking myself into it as we speak).
