So I'm new to this chicken-foolery and haven't started yet, but it looks more and more like I'll probably end up with a straight run one way or another (breeds only come in straight runs, starting from eggs, etc) and possibly too many birds (25 packs seem to be popular, I can only house 6 standards and maybe a couple more if bantams)
How many do you start off with if you're doing a straight run with limited housing?
How do you choose which ones to keep?
How do you remove the ones you choose not to? Do you sell/give/cull them? At what age?
I'm asking your experiences not really etiquette or anything, but I guess that goes hand in hand.
