Howdy!

[Happy hen lover]

I’m not really new to raising chickens. My grandparents had them, and I do remember stuff they taught me. However, I have never raised them myself. I inherited 2 roosters & 6 hens from a former tenant. I’m going to be moving the coop and all to my property over the next few weeks. I have a run already in progress of building. I have someone willing to take one of the roosters because I was told I shouldn’t have 2 because they will fight. I have a hen setting on a nest, I don’t know if I can move her until the chicks hatch. Kind of starting from scratch, but in the middle of the river! Any advice is appreciated!

Talk about baptism by fire! Im excited for you, glad you got rid of one roo. Good luck with your broody i wouldnt disturb her if she has eggs.

Hey man, nice to meet you! Just wanted to chime in a give what little advice I have lol. I probably wouldn't move then hen that sitting, unless the move will be really quick, so she can get right back on them.
As far as the cage goes, just pay extra close attention and really inspect it close for any flaws. Because if there is any possible way for a wild animal to squeeze in, they will. I've found that zip ties are an excellent way to secure any gaps or loose points.
Well hope that helps. If you have any advice for a new person, please hit me up! I appreciate all advice!!!
