I have an old milk shed inside measurements are 7 feet 5 inches on one wall by 5 feet wide along the other wall. I have 6 golden buffs and one of them broody that I put 12 eggs under her. She hasn't layed any of her own yet. Two of the fertalized eggs are bantam eggs with the others easter egg blue. All are fertilized eggs My run is 10 feet by 10 feet How If all the chicks live. That will be 16 chickens
Is the hen house to small?If it's to small for all of them. What is a safe number of chickens to keep for that size of hen house?Also I have 3 beds for them to lay eggs is that enough. I do have someone to take the baby chicks. But I would like to keep some of them to increase my flock. Any advice would be appreciated. The eggs should hatch around Aug 4th or 5 th
