Hello, chicken tenders! I wanted to introduce myself and my flock šŸ„“

I grew up on a farm in Tennessee, and we raised 4-H chickens along with horses, calves, and cats/dogs. So Iā€™m not necessarily ā€œnewā€ to chickens, butthis is my first flock as an adult.

My husband gave me the okay to buy some Easter Egger pullets from our local Tractor Supply. They didnā€™t have them in stock, so we had to have 10 shipped to us. Those babies are now 21 weeks old(still no eggs)! Chicken math got me, and now thanks to trades/impulse buys, we are sitting happily at 7 21 week old EE hens, 1 9.5 week old White Leghorn pullet, 2 9.5 week old Blue Australorp pullets, 2 5.5 week old Black(copper) Marans, and 2 5.5 week old Ayam Cemanis.

I love to go outside and just observe the chickens! My dogs really like it, too. Overall, Iā€™m just really glad to have found this resource and to know that Iā€™m not alone in my chicken obsession!

Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
How big is your coop?
Thanks!
I believe JUST the coop is around 35 square feet. Iā€™d have to measure to be sure.

We have a 55 square foot run on one side and just added a 80ish square foot run on the other.

I was told the coop was big enough for up to 15 chickens, but we will likely be getting rid of some of the newer babies since they might be cockerels. Just winging it and closely monitoring for now though.
