Plans have changed. We won't be able to divide the second yard into a third.
Both my parents currently are semi-living with my grandmother to take care of her so my dad won't be able to help with the yard. I actually do need my dad with dividing the yards as it was originally his idea and there are things I'm unable to move.
We have a coop that was going to be put into it's own yard for chicks and a mother hen but now I won't be able to do that. The coop for the hen and chicks take up a bit of space so I was wondering how I might go about letting her raise them with the flock?
Only 2 of our hens, both are Black sex links, have always been very friendly towards chicks. I've even seen them offer food to them before.
I will need to measure the main coop after I post this but the yard attached to it is 8'x15'
The whole flock free ranges during the day and they only use their yard during rainy days which isn't too often.
By the way, I won't be getting the chicks until she goes broody. Should be soon though!
