I love that!! I’m going to be using that on my TikTok page😭🤣 I need to figure out who to give credit to if I do 😅

@Mrs. K I apologize for my firey response. I figure that you wouldn't have added to this thread if you didn't think you were being helpful. This has been a sensitive subject for my partner and me for the past couple of weeks. Especially since we have decided to rehome a handful of our chickens...

Okay, then benefit of the doubt it is. I trust your input on this because you have been an active, respectful, and helpful part of my thread(s).

Anyway, I hope that everyone has a very happy Easter. I know that it is difficult to advise without sounding authoritative, but again I think it is important to try to uphold a sense of empathy if you think that someone has a problem. (Even if you think that they caused it). Example being: I...

Earlier in this forum I mentioned that we were going to upsize once we made decisions. At least I believe I insinuated that. I thought that Mrs. K was commenting on that. In other words, I thought she was criticizing that we hadn’t already done so. If I were to give her the benefit of the...

“ NOW” go back and read those two sentences again. “With birds, the number needs to fit the space you have NOW. If you want more birds than that - build first, and then add in more birds. Keeping too many birds in too small of space with the idea that they will wait for you to build later is a...

I appreciate that you took the time to write this long and informative message. You don't need to sweat it, in the end, we're going to do what we want. We will do everything in our power to keep OUR birds from becoming "miserable". I was just about to come on here and mention that we have...

I know ^ people can get pretty ballsy behind a screen. 😂😂 you have been a great help!

It’s obvious that most people are advocating for a much larger setup. 25 chickens in my coup wouldn’t even be possible. They would be cramped like sardines, even with the roosting bars… I couldn’t even imagine 25 chickens in this thing. Even if 5 birds comfortably roosted on each bar that...

Apparently the laws on this side of the county are different than in the city. I’m way out of city limits. In the city they don’t let anyone keep chickens. Outside the city the only law mentioned is how chickens should be kept secure on the property and not impede traffic etc… I guess I didn’t...

I really appreciate it! No, I’m envious! I really do appreciate all the comments. I will not be getting anymore chickens with my setup that I have . At least I know that for SURE. It really talked some sense into me… haha I grew up with chickens in a very old-school way. Growing up my papa...

That coup is nice!! Holy cow.

Just checked and there isn’t a law on coup size where I’m at. I didn’t know that there were laws in general so I appreciate you sharing that with me.

Just out of curiosity. Does the roosting bars not count in these measurements at all ? These things are LONG . I mean 5 birds could roost (full grown ) with space in between them comfortable . And that would leave 3 birds on the floor . 2 of the birds I have are olive eggers that are going to be...

Oh yeah I don’t think so either. Those things are like milk crates for sure. My mom bought one like that when she first started out, let’s just say that thing ended up in the dump😂😂

That may be the right course of action at this point. Maybe I could cut a wall out and add another run and coup connected to the set up that I already have?

“That may be what you’re hearing, but…” yeah I could feel the attitude coming through that screen gf. Ya need to tone it down. I made that comment sarcastically. I’m not getting rid of my babies. I’ll do what I need to do. I started a thread to get advice, not to be bashed. Thank you and have...

I don’t think it’s “small” it’s actually one of the larger coups I have seen 😂😂 but I see what you’re saying. I wasn’t expecting 5 birds to be the answer I was thinking more like 13. I know several people who’d gawk over the size of this coup. It’s not one of those dog crate sized coups you’d...

It said 168 chickens and a lot of goats … hahaha

Okay, good to know .I won’t be getting anymore chickens haha. 4 square feet sounds like a lot per bird inside a coup tho … I mean you have to take in account that they will be more than likely be using the roosting bars to sleep too… I do understand the run being a measurement to watch out for...
