Story of my life...

I was only planning on one coop.... then chicken math happened. And I have 1 big coop and 2 smaller coops lol

I'm planning on 1 big coop + breeding pens and (I'm sure it'll happen eventually) some chooks in the goat shed.

My mom paid $1700.00 for a building for 6 guineas. They ran away from home.

My problem is there are too many breeds I would like to concentrate on. I should just let them all mix and see what I get. A polish/jubilee /SFH /topaz chicken ?

Typical unthankful wretches.

That's one way to do it.

I had a bunch of criteria for the breed I picked... Kept narrowing it down until I found "the one".

we all liked the guineas except for that mouth. They sure kept the ticks gone. But dont move even a bucket in the yard or you will hear about it for a week

Mine were awful, for multiple reasons. They tried to kill new birds, they never shut up, they were too scared of the outdoors to free range without the chickens, and they were the ugliest birds I've ever laid eyes on. I've been guinea free for well nigh half a year now and I'm not going back.

Is there anything else you want to consider? Heat tolerance, cold tolerance, disease resistance, body type, APA/non APA, conservation status?

heat/cold and hardy of course. Nothing else I can think of. Im not wanting to breed to sell. Just eye candy although I would need to sell a few here and there and of course the more money they are worth the better.
