If you let the broody hen hatch the eggs, do you have to have to put her and the chicks in a separartecoop then or can you just segregate them in the existing laying hen coop?
Ok, I do think I get it now. Sorry. Sometimes it takes a minute. :) So this is my plan. I want to get 6 pullets (hopefully hens) and one roo about the same age to start. They should all be able to live in semi-chicken harmony for quite a while before I have a worry about chicks correct? This...
So I'm planning my coop and learning all I can at the same time and here is my question asi see conflicting info...If I want layers and meat birds, do I have to have 2 coops to keep them and the roo separate?
