Ugh moral dilemma
Get a trio of bantams next year and add to my flock, but have them in less space than they should be
Or
Don’t

it’s hard because everyone else that we know who has chickens has them in less than ideal space
These people down the street from me have what looks like 5 large fowl in like 24 square feet total
Our friends have 5 large fowl and one bantam in with maybe 40 square feet of run and 16 square feet of coop
My parents would probably let me get more as long as I’m not expanding the coop at all
Hhhnnnnngggg

Just because others do things does not mean it is ok or good.

He is, in fact, a sog. (soggy+dog=sog). I've informed him that he should start a Sog Blog, but he will not.

his ears are so wavy! Like he's gotten a perm!

That's what always happens when he gets wet! it goes away once he's dry lol
it also happens when he plays with friends and they chew on eachother's faces

Just cause your neighbors are doing things like that doesn’t mean it’s a good thing. Your run IMO is maxed out. You can’t add more, or there will be bullying in the flock as well as other things you don’t want to deal with. You care about your birds so don’t make the mistake others have and over crowd them.
