Hello from middle TN

[Spawndn72]

Sunday we bought 6 chicks from Rural King. Today I decided we needed 4 more, but they have a 6 chick minimum, so we now have 12:

2 Barred Rocks
2 Sicilian Buttercups
2 Black Copper Marans
2 Ameraucanas
2 Crele Penedesencas
1 Columbian Wyandotte
1 Blue Andalusian

All seem to be doing fine.
We are very new to this and learning quickly.
Now I need to build a coop and a run

Thanks for being here. This is a great place for info.

Hello and welcome to active posting on BYC!
Good Golly, Miss Molly! You have a dozen chicks in the brooder and no coop and run?? You better get busy quickly to be ready for the little feathered raptors.

Welcome Glad you decided to join us! Congrats on your new little flock - beware they grow fast! Get that coop and run up because you’re going to want to move them when they’re ready. They do get messy and create a lot of dust as they get bigger

Hello Spawndn72.
Welcome to BYC.
You might have overcooked this one a bit.
You'll need to build a 100sq foot coop.

Welcome to BYC!

Feel free to ask questions, there are so many wonderful and knowledgable people here to help you

As others have mentioned, you might need a bigger coop. Doesn't chicken math just sneak up behind you?
