Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LaFemmeKatia]

I know all too well about plans changing and keeping more then you initially intended. But with all the heartache you've experienced so far this spring if all 5 are girls you've earned it. 5 is also a good number. To be honest if you just kept 2, they will become super bonded with each other, and as you have saw things happen and if one passed you have a very lonely and depressed chick/chicken. You really need if possible to keep at least 3, but 5 is better. Chicken math is real, and I will not say my number now.

Five is a good number!

I agree. To me 3 is a minimum because of the danger in losing one. I went through it too many times.

I've read that they are fine with cats and dog's but no answers for the chicken's

Most leghorns do, especially in mixed flocks.

Can you post a photo of them? They may be called something else here.

I really need to sort out that scruffy part but the fence. I would love to add these bust lizzies before the inspectors arrive
