Ok, unfortunately I need to pick (only )3 breeds for my first backyard flock. I have a list of a few I have narrowed it down to. If anyone wants to add or change something that is fine. Soooooo, I have...
-Easter Egger
-Rhode Island Red
-Barred Rock
-Leghorn
-Buff Orpington
-Black Jersey...
I have a coop that is about 6x3 feet, and it has 2 nest boxes, but I could add more if need be. The run is about four times that. So, how many standard sized laying chickens can I keep in there safely( I definately don't want them to be stressed out) Also, I plan to let them free-range...
I'm planning on getting six laying chickens, so I want to know what breed/breeds would be best. I'm new to this so I don't want a high maitenance flock So please help me out by posting suggestions and other helpful info ( im ordering my chicks
soon)...
