i've been thinking about it and i'm planing on buying 50 chickens, 30 roosters, some chicken coops, obviously their food and other stuff
also i have a vet friend who can give me advice, and my backyard is pretty big, almost 30x30 foot

any advice? is anyone else doing this?

Holy tits OP I just had a great idea, forget about selling the eggs and just keep them for yourself! You can live off of that food for an eternity and when the world goes to shit in a decade or two you won’t have to worry about scrounging for food!

oh, anon
realistically you don't want any roosters at all, they are a huge pain in the ass. Maybe just one for a little bit of protection and for breeding more although it's a lot easier to simply buy more chicks instead of rearing your own

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 26 21:43:20 2018 No.8576752 >>8576689 Lmao basic math makes that 5 roosters for 50 chickens

Anonymous Mon Mar 26 21:48:13 2018 No.8576799

>>8576722
another thing, when you buy chicks they are supposed to be all hens. some roosters also slide though but it's not like you'll be able to walk in and say "give me 50 hens and 5 roosters". You kind of just get what you get. Out of 50 hens there will likely be a few roosters; more than enough for your flock in any case

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 26 21:48:31 2018 No.8576807 >>8576722 Bullshit, roosters are no where near as much of a pain as people make out, if you have more than 1 then they will tangle but 1 rooster will look after the hens proudly. Watch out for foxes, they will fuck your plans if not careful

if they are free range they can be a huge hassle. I've literally bled from a peck that was through a thick rubber boot
you're right about the foxes though. Foxes, dogs, coyotes, raccoons, even eagles and hawks will try to eat your chickens. You need a good pen with walls such that animals can't dig underneath, and you'll have to lock up the chickens every night at sunset.

Anonymous Mon Mar 26 22:00:51 2018 No.8576958

hey OP are you taking notes? Raising chickens is easy and rewarding if done right but if you're a city boy and fuck it up it's gonna suck.
Another thing to note is that you should give friends and family a dozen eggs each time they visit. Farm fresh eggs are 10x better than storeshit and they will love you for it (assuming your friends and family aren't mongoloids)

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 26 22:01:24 2018 No.8576967 >>8575296 get a goose for protection. You don't need roosters.

Round here if a rooster has a go at us we just roast it and eat it. Now our rooster is friendly and would never attack. It's scary as fuck when they get you unexpectedly lol.
Also I don't have the plans but a narrow S shape entry into the roosting area keeps any foxes out, they will not use S entry but you still need to dig your fences down like ya said.
Last week a brown snake killed a hen sitting on eggs. Good luck though op, hope you do it, farm life shits on city life

OP
Basically like this. It actually works. The chooks let themselves in and out as they please, just make sure the sly fox isn't waiting outside the door

Hey OP, get different breeds. That's your hedge fund. Buy some geese and ducks so you can diversify. Butcher the old ones to act as dividends. Get some rare breeds and swap them like magic cards to dump on the hipsters wanting to buy in.
Your welcome.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 26 22:23:54 2018 No.8577275 Thank you OP. You just reminded me to lock up my hens for the night. I have 5 free range hens on about half an acre and they tear shit up. My family of 3 just gives away eggs at this point.
