i thought it was warmer there in winter..gets pretty cold here..

 

[rIrs roost]

mine is too  and i think  you have plenty of room for your chicks..

Good. Didn't want them to be to crowded. I may put the one by itseof in with the others if it gets to cold

i would too..they like company

mine are molting..right now they are free loaders..maybe one egg a week...

I haven't gotten an egg in two months from my hens older then a year. Why molting, why?

Forgot to reply. Oops.

None of my Easter pullets have laid yet. I keep rattling the gumbo pot at them, but no luck.

What freeloaders, disobeying the pot! The pullet I hatched in the middle of May started laying a couple weeks ago. My bantams seem to start laying before my standards, almost every time.

Sorry y'all. Had to let the chickens out and refill feed and water.

I gotta do something. Might be getting some real baby silkie chicks in the next couple of days. I'm not quite understanding the sq feet per chicken thing. But if I'm right it should hold around 5 chickens. Does that sound right?

2 sq ft/chicken. 4X12-48/2-24chickens

Finally made it home. The yard is quiet. Not sure where the chickens are...?

Was it Danna who said I'd be pooped by supper time? Because that's the truth. I'm coming to clean out my van while the kids play, and then maybe baths and early bed time for everyone tonight.

How much run would I need Jane. 240 ft? If I went with 12 chickens would that give them enough room if the had to stay in the coop a day or two?

Plenty of room. Need to put the others together during the winter. No heat lamp needed in the south. They are the cause of most coop fires.
