This may be a dumb question, but how many nest boxes would I need if I had 10 hens and 1 rooster? Would I need 10 nests or fewer than that? All the coop pics I have seen have between 6 - 8 nest boxes for anywhere between 10-20 hens.
Thanks alot! I am really excited and kinda anxious to get started. Just want to get it done right the first time. Do you recommend anywhere to get the baby chicks from? I am in
Macedonia, South Carolina and I am looking at McMurray Hatchery online right now. I am looking more or less for pets...
I am looking to build a chicken coop in my yard and I am wanting to get about 15-20 chicks after I have it built. I have looked at many different coop designs and sizes but I am not sure what kind of space/nests will be needed for the chickens to be comfortable. Also- is there a good hen-rooster...
