Well we decided that now was as good of a time as any to just get a new brooder box built for our 7 chicks...We immediately realized we needed to move the food and water a little farther apart...lol
As the title says....We got our first chicks two days ago. 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Australorps, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, 1 Gold Laced Wyandotte, 1 Golden Comet, and 1 Rhode Island Red. We may end up adding two more to the flock, but we're not sure what (if we decide to add any more). Everyone seems...
My wife and I are just getting started on learning about raising chickens. First things first, we're trying to figure out how many, and then coop size and location. We think 8-10 chickens will be more than enough for us, so the coop won't have to be huge (they will have an outdoor run as well)...
