ok but i feel uncomfortable referring to him/her as a him if i dont know if he/she is comfortable with that. after all, animals can be transgendered. https://www.vice.com/en/article/8x8bez/yes-there-are-trans-animals
ok so this is going to seem like a strange question. i have a chicken that looks like a rooster. everyone says he’s a rooster, he has spurs etc, BUT he acts like a hen. it feels wrong to give him a male gendered names, does anyone have experience with this? im worried he identifies more as a hen...
true it might not be enough for more, but even if i did 3sqft for each when everything ive read says 2-4 then they would need 33 sqft and i have 40 so it does meet the requirements.
a
40 square foot coop is too small
for 11 chickens? i disagree if following the 2-4sqft rule but maybe u didnt see that i upadated thay i measurered wrong when i got the 24 asqft
i live in alabama, so its warm all year until winter when it can get down to 20’s occasionally. maybe i could just put a heater and tarp in there. another idea i had was ‘adding on the the coop’ by putting a wooden dog house in the ‘run’ part.
what qualifies as a coop? it had hardware cloth around it and a roof and straw on the ground and roosting bars then it had a wooden box coop thats 24sqft but they never go in there unless theyre sleeping and then they just roost on the bars in there
