Finally paying off. 9 hens and 4-6 eggs a day. Glory

My hen’s finally started laying. 15 eggs in 2 weeks. Not bad for the start.

My ladies are around 15-16 weeks now.

So we decided on getting a Blue tick hounddog. I’m hoping to get them acquainted so she don’t kill all of them. I’ll setting for not standing at the pen barking at them all day. Thoughts?

Anyone see a Rooster in this bunch?

My chicks are growing and acting like chickens. They all look very healthy and seem to all hold their own, My question is what should I be looking out for health wise? I started fermenting my feed when they were a couple weeks old. They love the stuff. Any help would be appreciated.

I was told it was.

This is around the 2nd week in their run. I built it around two old stumps. They seem to have found their favorite one to dig.

These chicks must had been a week old from TSC when I got them. I’ve had them three weeks. They look more mature than for the age.

I bought Ameraucana chicks. This one is a bit different. Tail is very short compared to the rest. She is the smaller chick on the left in these photos.

This is the 6th day they have been in the coop /run. They are starting to act like chickens.

My 9 little raptor looking things have been in their 16x8 run now for 3 days. Today I managed to get them all in the coop without having to chase them down. Glory I used fermented food to lure them in. They are starting to get comfortable in the run. Getting use to me a bit more.

Letting the girls get a look at their run

Pick up 12 Ameraucana chicks today froTSC. Not my first choice but I’m tired of waiting. Three had vent issues so I cleaned them up and checked the others.👍 Threw in a bit of lettuce just to see if they liked it. A few picked at it. Let the adventure begin.

I ran electrical to my new coop finally. Light,outlets on /off switc. I should have chicks in a couple of weeks. 10-12 mixed black Orpington and Plymouth barred rock is what I’m thinking. Thoughts?

Should you have the same breed Rooster as your hens?

Still flockless,but not coopless.

I laid down the foundation for my coop. 8 x 4 x 6 with a 8 x 15 run. once I get chickens I’m leaning towards Dorkin. Thoughts!

I've been drawing coops for a couple of years. Haven't started one yet. Leaning towards a walk in coop with plenty of room for future. I plan to start with 6-8 hens. Georgia

Future flocker. Glad to be here.
