There is no limit on how many chickens you can keep in Bellingham. I live near lake Padden and I have 25 or something chickens, 2 turkeys, 1 goat, and am looking for ducks
Thats AWESOME! With a coop and run that size, over the years you can keep expanding with your flock. Though I would keep it to a minimum of 20 or 25! Have fun!
If I were you, I would put them into the coop and the coop only for now. If might be too cold for them in the run. At night, put a heat lamp on them. Hope this helps!
The first might actually be a Buff Orpington. Some times, breeds can grow up with a foreign comb or a comb that the breeds isn't supposed to have. The second one could be a Rose-comb Rhode Island White. The third one could be a white Leghorn or a Single-comb Rhode Island White. And the last one...
I don't know, it's always hard to tell at this young. And that is not a pea comb, it is a single comb. If you are dying to find out their gender, I would take them to a bird specialist in your area. If that seems to extreme, look for spurs and fighting among them and listen for a crow! Good luck!
My Welsummer Hen is very friendly and is a very good layer of dark brown with speckled eggs. She also does very well in shows. She has won Best Welsummer out of Washington State and she is not even a breeder!
