Hi. I'm new to the world of chickens. A little batam rooster showed up at our place eating the feed dropped by the horses. After a few weeks thought he might like some company. My daughter and son in law have chickens Found our new resident some company ;-). My husband built us a coop next to the barn and now we have 6 hens of various ages all under 8 months. Unfortunately our little rooster disappeared before the secure house was finished. Our neighbors have reported loosening some of their hens to some local foxes. We are located in a rural area where various livestock and wildlife reside Some friendly some not.

Joined this site to learn more about proper chicken husbandry. Look forward to learning a lot. Thanks.

Hi :welcome

Glad you could join us here! What a shame the roo disappeared before you got your coop. But at least he introduced you to the wonderful world of chickens :)

I'm sure your coop is a lovely addition to your barn. We used to have some chickens at the farm where I keep my horse and they all got along great, some of the chickens used to sit on the ponies backs which was quite amusing :lol:

Good luck for the future and enjoy your time here on BYC :frow
