My wife Shannon (whom is expecting in June) and I have been talking about chickens for years. We live on 5 1/2 ac. in wonderfull WV. Our place was once used for horses so we have a large 4 stall 30' x 40' barn to work with. We have about 1.5 ac fo old pasture and lawn the rest is woods. 1ac is going to be a food plot for deer this spring. I already have a basic coop idea utilizing part of my barn. I would like to free rrange the birds as much as possible I only have one concern. FEREL CATS, 4 to be exact. Please give me any and all recomendations.
As far as chickens go feel free to advise on a good choice for a beginer. We are mostly looking for layers. We were thinking of Old English or RIR OR Both. Dont want to many to start so reccomended numbers would be great also.
Thanks
Scott
