Hey guys, this weekend we are taking in 4 chickens from a family who can no longer care for them. I’ve owned lots of ducks and some geese but never chickens. What are your best tips for bringing home full grown chickens (not chicks). I built them a coop (3ft x 7ft) that opens on both sides for easy cleaning and has ventilation at the top. Will it be big enough for 4? Eventually we will build a bigger 10 x 10 for them to go in like we have for the ducks and geese but this was kind of short notice. I feed an all flock to the ducks and geese, can the chickens eat that too? Also we have a 2 acre fenced in yard that my birds currently free range in during the day, will they be able to also or should I build them a pen (I’ve got some random fencing materials laying around)? Any other MUST HAVE items for them? Helpful tips or suggestions? I know 2 of them are wyandotte and I’m not sure of the other two. Thanks!
