ummmmm.... HEHE... dang chicken math
We haven't even officially finished the first coop LOL.. I guess I just want 1 of everything!
Since there is a no Roo rule where you live do they have a max hen rule too? Also how big is your yard? Remember you have coop square footage as well as yard space too. Over crowding (not saying you are doing it, there or anything) can lead to troube in a flock.
I thought I wanted 1 of all the pretty breeds, then discovered although I think they are very pretty, the bantams are not my thing. I worry about them most with free ranging, but don't want them to not get that time too. Luckily our male pyrenees is alway on guard.
Well, overall as an established group I won't keep more than 12 here. I only want 1-2 bantams just cause they are cute.
I will keep growing out a few here and there and selling, re-homing or eating the rest
We have a rather good sized yard for free ranging. I think the "technical" rule for Brevard County is 1 hen unless that has changed... 1 hen?! That's just MEAN..
