Ready for the chickens

Post by OldForum »

Ade Walton
I have a couple of questions?

We are ready now for the chickens - we have finished the house etc?
My questions are really about feeders and drinkers for them?
We are starting with three birds - we aim to get more as time goes on - we do have the room and the house is big enough.

Question 1.
Is there a set rule as to how many nesting boxes you need per bird i.e if you have 4 nesting boxes you can have 4 birds?

Question 2.
Is there a way of deciding what size feeder and drinker I should buy.
Like I said we are starting with three chickens - I want to buy the right size feeder and drinker - I also want this to be ok for them if and when we get more chickens?
Again is there any type of rule i.e. one litre per bird for the drinker and say 1 kilo gram per bird for the feeder?
I think you will understand where I am coming from.

I would like to hear you comments / thoughts on this matter as I really am not sure what to do.
This is the last thing we need to sort before we bring home the chicks!!!

I await your replys guys and gals.

Thank you for now.

Ade
