One more question (well probably not really) Does anyone have a good rule of thumb for roost space per-bird. I know about coop size and run size but i havent seen much about how much roosting space per bird to give them.

This list is for the chicks at the West York Agway. They get most of their chicks from Mount Healthy, however he did say that some of them come from other places. He sometimes buys from local breeders too. You could call the store and ask for Jared ~ he might be able to help you with that information. Jared is also here on BYC ~ but I forget what his user name is.

Montgomery County (Eastern side of PA)
Just discovered my fellow PA'ers.

My backyard flock consists of 4 buff brahma's and 3 blue splash marans (all hens which just turned 1 yr old). However, I hope to be increasing the flockette with my very first incubated brood. 14 mail ordered blue splash marans eggs...6 piped this morning and as I sit here I hear their first little peeps. How egg-citing!!!

Hello from Chester County also! Welcome!

A newbie egg question. Do some breeds of chickens make better tasting eggs?

 

[motherhen71185]

This might be a stupid question, but aren't ALL silkies bantams? Or do the come in LF?
