1/4 acre is perfect for 100 chickens at 108sqft/ea

For eggs to be labeled pasture raised it is 108 sqft/hen. I try to get close to that.

I see 224. That sounds pretty small for 10 birds.

You mentioned you were only 15’ from the neighbors. What is your total square footage for the run?

I’m in austin. I think it’s 50’ from neighbor’s buildings. I let mine roam free in the yard and return to an open air style coop. I have one rooster and noise isn’t too bad.

Unfortunately I lost one BCM chick and the gray chick from the gold colored moss egg. I’m really not sure what happened. I’m guessing it got into the...

I’ve been letting the week old chicks free range with the main flock. Surprisingly the whiting true blues didn’t react at all to the chicks and just walk around with them. The marans get a little territorial and have pecked a few, but I try to moderate the confrontations. The rooster is doing...

Here’s a small video showing off the new chicks running free.

No, I didn’t take like that. It’s been a peeve of mine that they are going over the fence where I can’t protect them. I haven't totally decided how, but I need to make a large enclosure so I can leave for a few days and not worry about them being attacked. I’m probably going to get a 100’ roll...
