Not shure the size of the coop and they are all free range (no run)

dont use DE

dont use pine shavings (we use straw cause i dont believe in cutting down more trees when straw is a byproduct alternative)

i dont buy the feed but according to my mom that is going to change really soon. te hehe

I have 10 chickens in the other coop and use a 30 gal. waterer. the chicks have a 5 gal. waterer.

requires LOTS of patience.

If you need to sell some you know I dont live far and would be happy to have some

I basically think EnviroChick11 and WisconsinChick could run most of our chicken coops for us and still have time for 166 more chicks. They really inspire me.

Your parents must be very proud of you, too.

I hear ya, I was too chicken to buy the minimum of 25 so I had to hatch them out myself knowing full well I've never get more than 6 or 7 to live.

I'm a wimp too.
