You don't need a rooster to get eggs.Getting a rooster was part of the plan. Thank you?
Not to put too fine a point on it ... I would set it up for chickens.Building this chicken coop with stuff I can find laying around the house. It will have a front door (and a window box and a front porch). Can anyone who has birds tell me how the inside should be set up?View attachment 4563624

Check local ordinances/HMO about having a rooster, a lot of places down't allow them.Y

I’m wayyyy out in the country. That being said I would rather go toe to toe with a home owners association than my woman at 7 a.m. when she’s pissed off at some loud ass roosterCheck local ordinances/HMO about having a rooster, a lot of places down't allow them.
If your planning to do that it's not big enough. Stick with chickens first then expand the coup to allow for a rooster.Y

Thanks man I didn’t realize that the rooster required more space. Does it change things that they’re in a 30ft x 15ft pen?If your planning to do that it's not big enough. Stick with chickens first then expand the coup to allow for a rooster.
Yeah from what I’ve read they like to get up to the highest point so I thought maybe some 2x4’s up in the rafters to roost onYou need shelf’s where the chickens can sit and lay eggs. Maybe some steps. They probably want to be up off the ground away from predators.
I’m planning on getting some adults at the local chicken auction. But if I get around to incubating some then definitely soIf you get them as baby chicks, will you need a heat lamp?
They do, and especially for the chicks too. Rooster are dicks in general. If you just want eggs your good. 3 to 4 chickens generally will get ya a dozen eggs good. Just make sure you Give them something to sit on....people around here use a cue ball.Thanks man I didn’t realize that the rooster required more space.
