I have four 12 week old girls now. We had 6 but two turned out to be roos and I can't keep them. Can I safely bring 2 newbies to the group? If so, should they be around the same age or should I get younger chicks?

What do I have here?

It took a little longer than I expected but it's finally done. Boy, are my girls happy about that!

Thanks. What a relief.

Finally got pics of the other two @ftffarmer22.

The last two are a bit far away.

What do you think?

I've had my suspicions.

I'm gonna go with 19 gauge. The savings is not worth it. Thanks all.

Sorry. Gotta adjust my settings. I live in the Piedmont of North Carolina.

Hello all. Another post got me to thinking about hardware cloth. I have my coop mostly framed out. I should be able to install the hardware cloth to the run soon. I see both 23 & 19 gauge, among others, on Amazon & MyPetChicken. Would 23 gauge suffice or should I go heavier. Thanks

That's only 23 gauge wire. Would you chicken veterans recommend 19 gauge or better or is 23 good?

I think the birds will be treated more as pets. We couldn't eat them. I would like to get more than a couple seasons out of them for sure.

Hello all. I joined a while back in hopes of starting a flock but life got in the way. We are now ready to go though. I live in central NC and am wondering what good egg producers I should get? Thanks in advance!
