Hello all!
My husband finally said ok to chickens! The coop was a family project - my sons and husband built it, my daughter and her fiance helped paint. Our 7 girls moved in 3 days ago and seem to be adjusting. They are 11 weeks old, so we will start to free range in the near future. They won't be laying for a while yet, but when should I introduce layer feed? Or is a general feed better? What does everyone have in their first aid kit? I have the basics, feed, grit, water, pine shavings and they get treats - love watermelon rind! Anything else I should have handy?
Thank you!!
