We finally got all of our breeding pens ready for all the different breeds and then I decided that we just had too many breeds to deal with. I sold the Lavender Orpingtons and the Blue Australorps, along with a whole crop of young Wyandotte roosters as a big lot. There were 26 in total including some laying hens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally selling a bunch of birds at once is a red flag, indicating that the deal is a scam, but in my case, I just really need someone to come get the birds before I change my mind and keep them all, forcing me into building MORE coops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, we finally got everyone into their breeding groups, and since they’ve had time to “acclimate” a little while, they’re ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a long tin coop with 5 stalls that we built for breeding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
