when I was a little kid we had one named grandma and she was the oldest in our flock, she was one of the sweetest chickens I’ve ever owned and is part of the reason why I want to get them again but a lot of people don’t have the same experience as me, I guess it’s just a luck thing haha
Hello chicken community! I was curious to hear your guys experiences with these chicken breeds, I’ll be buying them next spring.
here’s what I’m getting:
✨- green queen
- easter egger
- salmon faverolles
✨- Lisa Steele's Cookies and Cream
- buff brahma
- jubilee orpington
The ones I put a star...
I’ve had a couple people mention this, is there any sort of disadvantage to having more nest boxes? Also we will be making the run bigger! For bedding we’re planning on doing sand
I wanna be on the safe side with the nests, yknow how bird math is lol. we may end up with more in the future :] I have really cold winters here (sometimes getting into the negatives) but ventilation thing is more of a note so I don’t forget, my dad works in construction so he’ll probably have...
Thank you! Yes the roosts will be higher than the nest boxes, when I lived with my mom we had that problem lol. I’ll keep the ceiling idea in mind! We’re mostly using leftover parts from other projects we’ve done to build this coop
Hi guys! I wanted your opinion on this coop design I made, me and my dad are getting 6 chickens next spring & these will be the first chickens he’s owned since he was a kid so I’ve been helping a lot haha. the shed roof design was my dads add-on
Omg hi! I haven’t used this account in over a year & I’m just now logging on, I’ve had a lot of life stuff happen and I live with my dad now. We’re getting 6 chickens next spring and these will be the first chickens he’s owned since he was a kid, I’ve been helping him with preparations & coop...
I know not all quail can be gendered by color but I was wondering if I have any that can could you guys tell me the genders? They’re about 2 and a half weeks
Oh I actually have that! I feel like it wouldn’t be very safe though since rats and stuff can fit though, if I use it I’ll probably put something around it
