My mother-in-law just bought a small flock of Black Sex Links. 7 hens and 2 Roosters. I was raised on a cattle farm as a child but have never raised chickens. I have looked through this site and discovered that differant breeds of chickens need to be cared for differantly. So my question is this, how do you take care of these sex links? I built her a coop, 25'x16', it is not covered only chicken wire. I intend to build the nesting boxes tomorow. She has bought cracked corn and some form of pelletized feed for them. Also I have 3 differant kinds of roosts for them to lounge around on. I would also like to know if they are prone to certain types of diseases and such. So if anyone can tell me anything else I need to do for them, or any information in general I would greatly apreciate it.
Thank you in advance
