I'm planing on hatching some eggs this spring with one of my broody hens. It's the first time for us both! I plan to build an outdoor fully enclosed run with a rabbit hutch for starting things off. The hutch is 4ftx1.5ft and the run will be 2mx1.5m. I plan on getting 6 eggs of which probably not all will hatch. I will introduce them into the flock at 5/6 months old. I don't expect to start this until the weather warms up in spring. All will be bantams, probably 3x Wellsomer and 3x Araucana.
my questions are;
will this be enough room for 6 month's if all 6 eggs hatch?
will it be OK to hatch and raise in the hutch?
Is there anything else I should consider?
I'm very excited about this and can't wait for the weather to warm up!!!!
