Good Luck
do you process?
i just got them for a hobby. will gather and sell eggs. will have better picture when my girlfriend comes over. this was taken from my cell phone. will try to get most of them in one picture. i dont care to eat chicken personally.
Get a pic of your girlfriend while you're at it. [:D]
I have rhodies, browns and dominiques, all Pullets.
theyre more like pets than anything. pets that give eggs!
how much space do you need for 100 birds? someone told me 4 square feet per bird when I was building my coop. they seem to have enough room, they never complained![;)]
you only need about 20 nesting boxes. they share them and you'll notice they'll favor some over the others (even if theyre exactly the same!)
I built them out of scrap plywood and each one is 12" x 12" square.
was surprised to find that chickens like to roost, so I put some narrow "shelves" on the walls and a couple legnths of 1 1/2" pvc pipe.
we got the rhodies because theyre great layers (brown eggs) the Browns lay white eggs and I don't know what the dominiques lay.
fun pets. hope you have alot of friends who eat eggs!
