First of all Hello,
We are new to chickenry i'll call it. We have purchsed a house on 7 acres with plenty of room for whatever. Our fisrt endevour is the chickens. My neighbor has kept chickens and I have been getting info from them from time to time. I would like to see what everyone thinks of what I have going on, and get insight of things to change, add, ideas, what ever you have to offer. Ok so here goes, as of now we have 4 cucco murans, 2 wynodottes, 4 easter eggers (we think), and 2 Bantams. I also have 5 broad breasted bronze poults. Our lot is about 2 acres cleared and the rest is wooded, just as the woods start i cut out an area for the coop. I made a pen 25' x 25' with t posts and 2"x4" 4ft tall welded wire. and inside the pen I built an 8' x 8' coop. I havent got to doing anything with the interior besides some temporary perches. what I would like to do is get them familiar with the area and hopefully just let them run where ever they would like. We do have more chicken we should be getting from a mail order next month, 10 more I believe. well here are some pictures of our set-up. Please critique it. I guess I can't post pictures yet, I'll try to figure something out.
