Hello:
My wife and I would like to get some chickens and were are considering the silkie. I'm reaching out to the experts here for some advice.
First we need a coop and I am considering simply ordering a kit that has decent reviews. I am concerned about the size though as I "suspect" we'll need 5-6 silkies since their eggs are so small. We do use a lot of eggs and have one teenage son remaining at the house.
Any recommendations for a specific kit or comments stating I should just build my own?
How large should I go for 5-6 Silkies
Is there a supply listed posted somewhere on here so I know exactly what I need?
We have a small fenced yard and we'll let the chickens free pretty often but not overnight or all day long.
Newbie looking for any advice I can get.
Thanks,
Tim
