Good morning, all! We have been planning to get some hens since we bought our single family house last january. my wife and i have a 7 year old boy & 9 hear old girl and we are all so excited to start our flock this april.
i have been working hard, reading and researching and planning the coop & run. the coop will be 4x5 with 3 nest boxes for 6 hens. i am building a walk in run that is 8x10. the hens will also have a portable fenced area they can wander around in when we are home, which is most of the time.
big question at the moment: i ordered 6 hens from mypetchicken.com but now i am freaking about about some highly negative yelp reviews i just stumbled upon on yelp. has anyone had recent experience with them? should i cancel my order and order from meyer's hatchery? meyer's does not have ameraucanas but i can live with that. i also ordered a barred Plymouth Rock, Speckled Sussex, Rhode Island Red, Buff Brahma, & a Lavender Orpington.
please advise, thank you so much!!
