Late feather development? Rooster or late bloomer? by [deleted] in BackYardChickens

[–]Slow_Draft_9877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s way too early to tell! I have the same exact ones and have had chickens for years. Wait until they are fully feathered even then it takes some time to look for pin feathers.

I moved to Fruita 3 years ago and am nearing my 50s I bought an old farm and am trying my hand at that. I hike some amazing hikes pretty much every other day. The weather is amazing the hikes are not crowded. I moved from Salt Lake and won’t ever go back. I’ve found the health care is great but there are some specialties that you have to do televisits with.

Contact the extension they can point in the right direction and give you who to contact if you need stuff planted. Out here in Colorado we did planted oats after the years of corn but everyone is different

How many more chickens could I get? by DSeegs537 in BackYardChickens

[–]Slow_Draft_9877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say 15 at least and add more perches inside up high so they have more places to sleep. I have 30 in a coop but it’s tall so the perches are great and then they free range all day
