We don't have any chickens currently, but I had a flock about 10 years ago! We have chicks coming at the end of the month (my children's first flock)...1 Golden Laced Wyandotte, 1 Delaware, 3 Easter Eggers, 5 "assorted rare breeds", and 5 "production Pack" chicks coming from Meyer. My son is hoping for a Barred Rock in the assortment, lol. My daughter wants Easter Eggers, she's 6 so blue/green eggs sound super exciting to her!Oh! You have an existing flock? Chickens B4? That makes your order pretty exciting, pray tell... what did you order?![]()
I think the run ended up right around 200 sqft (it's 11'x10' on the half closer to the building and the farther end tapers to 8'x10', so overall 20' long, but 3' shorter on one "short" wall compared to the other, plenty of room for 15 hens. The old run was 12'x15' and looks SO much smaller now that this monster run is framed up! Hubby has "security" cameras going up inside and outside the coop and run (he's laying fiber optic cable to run them on a secure network that we can access from our computers and/or phones) as well...he's a Network Engineer, so techy stuff is where his true passions lie, lol. I'm a "farm girl" stuck in the city...but I do enjoy the conveniences that come with not living 30+ minutes from the nearest fast food place, lol.
