Hello and welcome to the forums! :-)

Ok Ok, so if I cut back to 20 birds? LOL I am actually building 2 of these. but one is going to be for polish and silkies and one for larger birds. in reality, if I can get 16 to 20 birds in one, that should be PLENTY!!! but then again.....CHICKEN MATH! LOL

Thanks for the reply! I will be getting them soon...within the next 2 to 3 weeks if not sooner. I'm going to try and get all 18 at the same time, but because I'm wanting a mix of certain breeds, I may have to get a few, and add them as I get them. but if I can make it happen I plan to get them...

Hey There! Thanks for the reply. I am going to buy adult hens already of laying age. I see no reason to wait for them to grow up when I can buy them already grown. ;-)

I did check their website, and I didn't see any indication that they do on the site. but that isn't to say that they wouldn't. lol ;-)

Just purchased a 25lb bag of scratch and peck and its being shipped with free shipping. I'm sure that is ultimately rolled into the price as all comments I have seen says for the same 34 bucks, I could get 50lbs of some other feed. I do not have my chickens yet, and am getting food here in early...

I thought I understood that the chickens would keep down the insect population?

Thank you! Do they sell Adult Hens?

Hello N. Texas peeps! my name is Steve and I am also from N. Texas in the Collin county area. would love to talk to other ppl in my area as I am getting ready to purchase my first chickens and am looking for someone to get them from. Looking for Hens that are already laying. ;-) Anyway...HELLO!
