and Welcome to Backyard Chickens.
to have you here with us. Enjoy your time here at BYC!
Hi there from a fellow Canadian in Quebec! How have your Sasso hens been? Have they handled the cold well, do they lay a lot, are they quiet? I am thinking to add a few to our backyard flock. Thank you!Hey folks, just wanted to post a quick introduction.
As the title says, I’m in eastern Ontario, in the country and we’re living on 13.5 acres. Have a wife and an 8 year old daughter. The house we bought came with coops on the property already…two small adjacent ones with corresponding small fenced runs attached to the back of our garage, and then another larger coop, run, and covered/sheltered dirt area.
First time raising chickens. My wife and I hadn’t really talked about how many to get, although I was sure I wanted more than she would (which turned out to be 12). The time to order our day-olds rolls around and I decided that since we have the space, and what difference would a few more make…so I ordered 21 (got an extra one, forget which black breed it was). 12 Red Sex Links, 3 Azure Blue, 3 Sasso Ciara, 3 Noirans. I wanted a variety of egg colours, so we’ll have light browns, dark browns (from the Noirans), and light blue.
So far it’s been fun. They’re interesting little creatures
I don’t want this to get too long. I’m about to move the ladies over to their larger, permanent coop and I’ll have some questions to post in other sections on here (where to locate the automatic door - there are two options, and where I should be putting their feeders and waterers - inside or out, etc.).
Anyway, that’s all for now.
Glad to be here!
This post is a year and a half old and the one that posted it hasn't been online for nearly a year so I'm kinda doubting they'll answer.
Ooh
I’ll try both your suggestions!! Thank you! Can’t seem to find much info on the sasso!
