Hi all. I am new to this and went in with my daughter and son-in-law to get 10 chickens that somehow turned into 25! They are all chicks right now so I am looking forward to seeing them all fully feathered to figure out what sexes I have. I enjoy loving on them and just watching their antics. We also have 4 guinea chicks as well. We have 2 barred rock pullets, Cruella and Winnie; 5 bantams, Rex and Raptor (son in law named), Mater, Sophia Jane, and Honey; 4 Wyandotte straight run without names because we can’t tell them apart , 4 orpington supposed to be pullets also not named yet, 2 black copper marans, 2 barnevelder, and 6 maran/barnevelder mixes (5 splash and 1 normal?); we have named one of the splash mixes who is super friendly and her name is Fiona. We are finishing up the 8x8 coop today and then will build the run. They will be plenty spoiled! Looking forward to learning from those of you who have been at this for awhile!

Welcome to BYC!!

It's funny how just a few chicks can multiply, isn't it? Thanks for joining us!

Hi and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us

I suspect your coop is too small for 25 birds. You want a minimum of 4 sq ft per bird and your run should have a minimum of 10 sq ft per bird. Your coop should have a minimum of 1 sq ft per bird of ventilation.
