10 hens waiting in a room

2Coconuts · May 21, 2018

Good day all,

New member here, we got 10 chicks about 6 weeks ago and they are from 7-9 weeks in age.
4 leghorns, 2 rhode island reds, 2 easter eggers, and 2 plymouth rocks. We live in SE PA in the woods nestled next to this great creek. My wife and i are happy to finally to start raising our own hens for eggs and entertainment of scratching birds. another week and they will finally be i their own coop. I for one cant wait for them to move out of the house!

This being our first set of birds, we will definitely be scouring this site looking for help wherever we may need.

Happy pecking

Mark
