Thank you, Val! I really hope I can most breeds I'm wanting. It's hard to get everything I want with only being able to get 10-12 chicks.

Funny story, orginally my plan was to only get 6-8 chickens and revamp a coop given to me by Meg. Then it turned into my boyfriend saying you might as well get 12 chickens. Now, let me back up and say he was adamant about me NOT get chickens, not even 2 chickens.

It gets better. About a week after I had orginally placed my chicken order, he said why don't we just build a new chicken coop. A 10x20 shed, half chicken coop and half storage for feed, etc. :eek:So, here we are today making plans for a new coop :lau Right now, I'm still going to revamp the coop given to me so I can use it until we get the new coop built (hopefully sooner rather than later).

That's a fabulous plan! Bigger is better, and more than one is very convenient. There are times when it's necessary to separate one chicken for a while, either because of illness, attack or aggression. It's nice if there are two coops and a separate little run for the one separated out where she can be seen but not touched. Some people accomplish that in their one large coop.

The guys do come around to the whole idea of chickens, given time to think about it. :lol:

I totally agree with you. I liked the thought of having a separate area! Plus chicken math is a real pain! :gig

Haha, guys ...so funny how quickly they can change their minds :rolleyes:
 
Good morning! Thanks for the tea, Debby.

Another snowy morning here! Looking forward to the warmer weather coming next week :wee

Hope everyone is having a good day!

DH and I just got home from a grocery run. Really glad to see the 6' markers to line up people for the check outs and plastic shields in front of the cashiers. They're going to be changing the aisles to 1-way soon too . All that should help avoid unnecessary contact.

We'll be heading out to the store shortly. Last week I was one of 4 people in the store wearing any sort of mask. We've had 17 cases in this county, so it's hard to make folks take it seriously.

The problem is , there is no sign of illness for the first 4 or 5 days. So if a person is not coughing, people don't worry.
