I don’t have SPACE though. I added birds in the summer and now we’re stuffed.

You need land. How much land do you have?

Unfortunately all the SL cochins are sold out for ALL of 2021, so my new plans for possible chicks are an EE, a splash marans, and a white cochin.

Which hatchery?

21 acres. I have land, but not the run space! I really need to find a suitable run.

No!!! It's cool!

Are you sure?

I’m getting 5 or 6 more OEGBs next year, and a few more silkies if mine doesn’t start laying in the spring.

Also some Cochins.

Each half will have about 15-16 birds. 25 is an estimation. I'll have to use my calculator for exact numbers. I'm horrible at math without a calculator . It's because of my disability.

I think that 15-16 is about 30 ish total? But my question was, are you going to start with like 5 birds in each side then add more, or are you going to start with 15-16 on each side and be at max capacity from the beginning?

Where do you find all this run space!!!

Coop space, actually. I have one coop that can hold 30 birds and another than can hold 15. I currently only have 22.

Get premier one fencing! That is the best electric fence and it is pretty cheap!

Yes!! I wish I had thought of that. Maybe I'll start one with one of the notebooks in my notebook hoard....
