Hello,
One of our Buff Orpinton's has ( today or yesterday) hatched her baby chicks. She brooded in a small nesting box in our small coop ( 8'x12') ; the box is about 2' off the ground.
She regularly shares the coop with 5 others layers and a rooster -- and temporarily there are 12x 2 mo. old...
Hello, I've just joined and this morning...had my first clutch ever. ( Well, one of the Buff Orpinton's actually had the clutch)
So, hello, and I'm now returning to the 'raising baby chicks' index to enquire about best accomodations for the new family.
