I'm new, and seeking your advice and opinions! :)

I got my California White at a local farm store.

I wouldn't call her flighty, but she is skittish and definitely not a cuddle pet. But she's also the bold, intrepid explorer and the one who flies out of the pent at will.

This is Chipotle supervising the plumbers who were hooking up the water to our house.

A 25 square foot coop will house 6 chickens at a healthy, 4 square feet per bird. Can you extend it to suit the larger flock?

That's interesting! That's some of the info I was seeking.

I really just want 3 or 4 more birds, and I'm thinking it'll be quite a trick to get a couple of specific breeds that I'm hoping for.

It's possible to find other chicken crazed folks nearby, if you post on your state thread, and maybe combine a hatchery order with someone.
And there are many urban raccoons, and maybe foxes, at least.
