So here is a pic of a rooster (my only rooster) that came as a "rare" addition to my Mcmurray order last year. I still cant figure out what it is. He's playing with scraps of my work in progress coop hehe.
I'm currently raising 30 hens (4 month old Barred Rocks) in my new coop (12x16), but am having an issue balancing my ventalation/humidity with desired temps. My coop ranges from 40 at night to mid 60s during the day (central washington). Outside temps are about 20 degrees lower than the coop...
As a new Chicken keeper I thought I had read more than enough to be "educated" on the subject, but alas I still have at least one question.
I have 40 chickens in a large coop (12x16 with a 4x12 roosting loft) with pine shavings for litter. None of my chickens are quite old enough to lay yet...
