I have 21.12 acres of land, but most is woods. I have a lot of old buildings that need to be torn down and a barn filled with 2 horses, 12 cats, and 2 rabbits, plus my chicken coop was the old milk house/room the milk went to. We have an old chicken coop that fell down last year, and an old garage(there was a house and garage that was built on the property a long time ago with the barn, but it's waaayy to run down to do anything with it. The garage is in better shape. The new house(the one me, my parents, and my sibling live in) is farther away from the barn) with a small chicken coop attached to it. I use the little coop attached to the old garage for broodys and older chicks. My chickens(I'm hoping to persuade my mom into letting me get call ducks and turkeys after we get our new coop built this year..wish me luck lol) love to take dirt baths and eat hay in the breezeway of the barn, and I have two adventurous pullets who love to jump up into the hay mow/loft...I'm hoping they aren't laying their eggs up there...(btw...technically my parents own the 21.12 acres of land..But whatever lol XD) I here a lot of people say that when they freerange their chickens that they go into the woods...Mine never have...Sometimes they go into the pastures for the horses, but none have ever gone into the woods....Does anyone else's chickens stay near the coop and not wonder off too much or is it just mine? lol
I also just got my brinsea mini eco incubator today....I'm exited to try it out soon XD I may have a lot of questions about it....So if anyone has any good advice about a brinsea mini eco, I'm all ears.
