so..... I have 192 square feet of coop..
192!
I have run too... not sure how big... but maybe 480 square feet... no snow that is sticking.. so dirt to play in and some dead weeds...
And I think it looks like my blasted chickens are pecking at each other!
And in there Are... uh...
4 Spitz, 1 male, 3 female
1 male leghorn, 2 leghorn females
Female: 1 old Marans cross, 1 Blue Ameraucana, 1 black bantam Wyandotte
4 half grown (2 of them cockerels) but they are so scared of the rest that they stay far away from the rest and always in a pack.
So what is that? 2 males and 8 girls
4 young (2 and 2)
So 13 square feet of COOP space per bird.
Whatev....
I will have the kids look for critters tonight, and kill the 2 cockerels in the morning...
But talk about crazy town.
I just opened up the overgrown greenhouse for them today... hope that keeps them busy enough...
