After having chickens off and on for 35 years, I thought I was done with them last spring when I got my first rabbits. Well, I've been missing the chickens again and was thinking about getting a few chicks... being that spring is near and all that.
I went to Rural King yesterday for pine shavings for the buns, and the shavings were free if you bought chick starter feed.
They hooked me on that one... FREE shavings! ...But what would I do with chick starter without chicks to feed it to? :? ...It must be a sign! :mrgreen:
Six Rhode Island Red pullets ended up in my cart. They look to be about 5 days old.
I'm really starting to need that barn! :roll:
(It's in the works. I have a 15x25 steel carport on the driveway that used to house an off-shore fishing boat. I plan to move it to the back yard and close it in.)
One of the guys I got my rabbits from had a nice lattice sided shed for his cages. He also had a few hens and nest boxes for them on the rabbit shed floor. I guess he let them free-range during the day and locked them in at night. It seemed to work.
Anyone here keep chickens in your rabbitry? ...Or rabbits in your chicken coop? :hmm:
