How to organize all these birds.
what ive got. my coop with 80 or so chickens. my goal 400 by the first snow. I need them for next years CSA. What i want chickens for meat, eggs, and breeding. I dont like the idea of putting birds in a run but its going to have to.
The plan - assuming i can get the finances worked out.
My coop - a grow out coop - free ranging
future mobile coop with a flock of blue/green egg layers
future mobile coop #2 with a flock of brown egg layers (maybe RIR and marans)
future mobile coop #3 unwanted roosters
If i keep the coops apart and have the specific breeds i want I guess i wouldn't have to cage anyone up. but i still want some other breeds like polish but they would need to be kept separate for breeding purposes.
I dont know maybe im rambling. Just alot to think about and try to plan.
