Hi! New to BYC. I'm loving it so far!
OK - I have 4 chicks arriving mid-August. So I just found a farm locally that breeds Lavender Orpingtons. I WANT. Do you think hubby will notice an extra chick? I mean, what's one little chickie??? LOL
I live in a low-density suburban/ruralish area. Not a huge lot or anything, but I have about 8,000 square feet of yard for the little darlings to range in. A 20 square foot coop and a 72 square foot run (for when they can't be supervised) should be enough, yes? I plan to allow them out more often than not. The forums (or is it fora - I am forgetting my Latin) have been super helpful, but it is always good to get the opinions of folks with experience.
