Giving it a try

[rick2]

Well the new place I am moving into has 2 chicken coops.The 1 you can walk into the other is like 3ft by 10 or 12 ft.They need a lil workBut I think that by next spring I will be ready.I would like to have a few layers.And have some boilers I guess you call them.Can you have them togeather?

You can if they're around the same size. That way the larger hens don't kill the small ones

Thanx for the info.And wat can I expect to pay for chickens now?

Murray Mcmurray has some cross breed meat birds for around 2.60 each. That's where we got some of our birds and we didn't loose a single one. They've all been really healthy!

I've used Meyers Hatchery in Ohio for several years with great success. I raise over 700 of their Rainbow Rangers meat birds every year. I do well with them on pasture in movable pens. I do raise my layers separate from my meat birds.

Meyers is the other place we bought birds from. Another great company.

Thanx I will give them a look.And I have noticed that since I have been thinking of getting some chickens.I have noticed more people who have them.

They're great pets, entertaining to watch in the yard and make your breakfast every morning!
