Hi from Taylor Texas!

[taylorchickenlady]

Hello ! We just got our first batch of baby Ameraucauna chicks 3 1/2 weeks ago. My mom used to be a chicken farmer, so she's the expert. It's my first time raising chickens, so I'm excited and kind of amazed so far. We just finished our chicken coop and are now trying to find folks to buy the extras we bought because of minimum order quantity. We are also figuring out the best way to feed and water them, so any recommendations would be awesome! Here's a picture of our homemade coop!

Hello and welcome to BYC!

That's a lot of birds for this tiny space. Do they have a place to get out of the weather? Nesting boxes?

6 birds is a lot for this space? We're not keeping all of these birds. We have extras that we are selling.

Yes. That would suffice for a coop if you let them out at dawn. Otherwise, they need a 24 sq ft coop (area not including nest boxes) and a 90 sq ft run with lots of things to scratch around and perch on in the run.
