Just joined. Hello. 120 birds, 5 goats.

Welcome to BYC! Wow what a flock you have! Congratulations!
Thanks. It’s been awhile since I had chickens. Last time around I only had 30.
Forgot to list them, but I also have two Black Copper Marans ( Hen and Cockerel) Those two are the only birds I’ve ever successfully incubated.
 
You can see most of my flock in this shot. Think this is 3-4 weeks ago.

Do your chickens get to spend any time outside??
They have an outdoor run that’s 15’ x 30’ that has a small, muddy pond that’s about 4’ diameter.
For the most part they like to stay inside. They come out for a short time throughout the day off and on.
I’m not big on letting them range unsupervised as there are a LOT of red tailed hawks in my area as well as a breeding pair of bald eagles and one juvenile eagle.

Their run is fully enclosed with a 7’ wood framed wire wall and overhead wire.
