Hello!
My wife and I had a chicken coop when we were first married but as a result of city code, we got rid of it. Now the code is changing and we are looking forward to starting our chicken coop adventure!
There is a LOT to learn and I thank you all in advance for the information I will learn here and the help I hope to find.
We have two large coops that I have purchased and combined for ample space and our chicks will ship on the 8th from www.mypetchicken.com
As a result of our lot size, we could have 8 chickens but we are starting with 7. Here is what will be on the way...
1 Cream Legbar
2 Easter Eggers
1 Barred Plymouth Rock
1 Australorp
1 Speckled Sussex
1 Road Island Red
The chicks will be in a brooder in the house and will be transitioned to the coop once their feathers come in. They will have ample room to wander outside of the coop and I plan to let them explore a few times a week.
I have two children that are VERY excited and I'm trying to absorb as much info as I can.
A little about me, I'm a husband, father, music teacher, and giant Star Wars fan!
The big question that Perhaps some can help me with are will these breeds work well together? I picked them for color, and egg laying but temperament was not really posted. I was hoping for an Olive Egger but they were sold out. I have a friend where I buy our farm eggs now that is willing to adopt any of my chickens if needs be.
