I have 3 chickens now... A pair Bahama's and a black Roo (Still not totally sure what breed he is yet) I'm getting 4 more 3 month old Brahma hens tonight... Perfect because mine are about 3 months old! I'm going to put them in the coop at bed time when the others are settled in. (I've heard this is the best way to do it)
My question is, should I keep them cooped in the run for a few days so they know where home is, or will they automatically follow my other birds around the yard? (They free range all day)
Also, this coop is big enough for 6 birds right? I hope so because we just built it, and like I said they free range all day. LOL
Oh and the nesting boxes... I heard you only need one for every 2-4 hens? Is that correct?
I'm so excited to go pick up my new ladies tonight!!
