I am brand new to chickens and went to the feed store to get supplies and ended up buying three of their 6 week old chicks. I was planning on buying hens from local online sources, and still would like to maybe do that. Can I mix some hens with these three chicks?
This is a basic question, but I am brand new to chickens. I have learned that chickens poop everywhere, even in the nesting boxes. How often to I clean it out, and what do I do with the poop? Can I put it on the garden or the flowers or compost bin?
