    Is there a ratio?

    You are better to have too many than not enough, however they will definitely all fight over the same box.

    Anyone in WV???

    @monnarush Sounds good. I sent you a PM with my number. I'll take the hens, but I legally cannot take the rooster. If you need to keep a hen to sell the rooster and hen as a set I understand.

    Anyone in WV???

    @WVduckchick the rural king here has some too. The employees didn't know what kind though. They have alot of nice stuff there but their knowledge of chickens is that of a toddler. I may go back and try again. But they usually have really basic breads. @monnarush Both the welsummers and...

    consistent low volume egg production?

    you are correct in saying that most of your chickens are a one a day breed. My Red Star and Barred Rock both lay daily. Did you ever fix your issue. It sounded like you were on the right tract with dietary concerns.

    Day old red sex link chick pecking other chicks eyes

    Mine did the same thing, I thought my black sex links were going to be supper aggressive because of this. I tried to give them different things to peck at like paper towel rolls and hanging strings. Things to play with. They stopped the eye pecking pretty quick, not sure if it really had...

    About nesting boxes

    I had the same question as far as nest count. Everything I've read suggests that Odelia's count of one nest per 3-4 chickens is the standard and if there are more nests, they will likely go unused.

    Perch size?

    See... this is why I love this site. I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday about perch sizes. The coop I'm building I have 1" X 4" (flat side up) perches and my friend suggested I narrow them down to 2". He said they should be able to wrap their feet around it; which picturing their...
