I got two large plastic "Parts" bins for them I had lying around... also found out they are about a year old so not too old to lay! I put some wood shaving in the coop and nest. is that ok? I am going to TS today to get feed.
I just got them last night from a guy who was having predator issues and just wanted to get rid of them...not sure how long he had them or where he got them at this point. Thanks for any and all info. you guys Rock!
thank you for helping this super newbie!
Now the big question.. how do I get them to lay eggs????
Yes had to take the Guinea in the deal.. might just let it loose.. it's a little loud for my taste! LOL
Just got two hens and a rooster.. 9Stil not sure of Breed/Age) but the previous owner did not have any eggs. He did not feed them "Layer Feed?" so I am starting them on it today.. how long until I should see eggs?
thanks all.. i am second guessing the "chicken' wire and wonder if I should have gone with the hardware cloth. A friend of mine gave me a rooster and two hens.. not sure the breed/age as he did not know. This is my first night with them and they made it into the coop so I hope all is well.
