Just got 10 red ones yesterday. Not sure of the breed. First time with chickens.
I've been working on a coop/run for a few weeks. It's not finished yet, so we just converted the dog pen for a temporary home until I get done with it.
They made it through the night......so that's a plus. I think my female JRT would really like to "play" with them. hahaComment

We have 5 hens right now and are getting 3-5 eggs a day.

Once they start laying, depending on breed, you can probably get close to a dozen eggs a week out of 3 birds.Originally posted by 999 View PostComment

My mom and sister have chickens and ducks and they give us all the eggs we can handle. I have always wanted to get into quail - any TBH'ers raising any for meat and/or eggs?Comment

We have 9 Large hens in my back yard. They are all different breads. We get white, brown, blue, sky blue, and brown spec eggs. We also have 4 Serama.
We have 25ish at the barn. They are mixed also.
We live in a subdivision inside the city limits
Most cities will let you have them its the HOA that gets you.
Also most Cities will not allow you to have Roosters.
Ask questions. We have been doing it for years.
Chickens are barn yard bullies. Separate the new ones from old till they get used to each other.
We let them free range in my backyard during the day and they go back to the coop each night
IF you have a smaller set up. These are awesome.
So much better for laying boxes Than shavings.

...and then there were three.
Courtney and I finished up the coop/nesting box this afternoon and put the chickens in to get used to it. I came inside for a few minutes and heard Hannah scream. I went out to find that my wife had left the gate open, dogs got out and promptly attacked Harriet, everybody's favorite chicken.

2020 Chicken Raising Thread
Following along as I am almost done with my coop, just have to close off the end at my building and cut some holes. Inside is around 12x6 and outside 12x50. Thinking of starting with 2-3 hens and a rooster as my dog might eat them, and once I verify security of my build I will likely increase to around 10 or so. Not sure if that is to many for the cage, but plan on ranging them some of dogs allow.
