I am a new to chicken owner. I started with 10 pullets and a young rooster. I ordered my chicks to be hatched on may 1st. So they are two months old now.
How many chickens do you have right now? I have a total of 37 birds now. The breeds I have are one Barnevelder, one Bielefelder puller and a Bieleefelder rooster, black Australorp , Wyandotte’s Copper Mar, br leghorns, buff and light Brahma, golden comets, ISA rooster and hen,Blue rock ,Olive eggers, Partridge Rock, splash jersey giant and production reds.
