Hello all,
Ted and I just discovered this site! We have a beautiful chicken coop coming in a few weeks, and are looking at breeds!
Here is our question: what do we need to do to keep a happy hen house? Do the breeds need to all be the same- not just the same size? Do all of the hens need to be gotten on the same day so that there aren't any new ones?
We'd like to have some meat hens and don't know how to reintroduce new birds- do we have to slaughter them all at the same time, or can we introduce a couple of new ones at a time.... Help! And thanks!
Ted and Cecilia
