I'm getting chickens, probably Black Australorps from the feed store. I don't need more eggs than three will lay but I'm more interested in managing them and watching their behavior than being practical. I will find something to do with the extra so they don't go to waste.
I know herd dynamics in cattle are quite different for a herd of two or three vs more than that. Even 4 instead of 3 makes a big difference. Is it like that for chickens?
I have 60 or 70 sq feet of floor space (coop and run); possibly more if it makes enough difference.
