[new chooks]

Thanks to everyone that gave us advice so far   , more is needed if you read on.
Just thought I'd give you an update. The Coop plans arrived yesterday and was built today. We now have a lovely desres for our chooks. Bunny tried out the enclosure and it got the thumbs up. At this point I might ask do rabbits and chix mix? :?   It was built for the chix but seems a lovely big space to let the bunny run, will it get hen pecked?
The idea was to have everything ready and then look around for some chooks but destiny took a hand and we noticed an advert in the local paper free range chooks for £1, just thought I'd give them a call and turned out was the chix farm about 1/4 of a mile away and before I knew it had arranged to pick up 4 in the morn.
He tells us they are 18 months old, didn't ask why he was selling them, not very sensible I know :roll:   , should we be wary, are they maybe ones that don't lay well  
Anyway then it was of to the local animal feed shop where I got totaly ripped off buying the feeder and drinking thing :x   , but had to have them ready for the chooks.
So that's it just waiting for their arrival.

Let us know what they are like when you get them.  My guess would be not laying.  If so they will come back to lay with good feed and lengthening days

Hi new chooks
Just replied on your other thread about rabbits and chooks - haven't found it a prob mixing them - got 3 chooks and 2 buns who freerange together happily.  They tend not to hang round together but certainly don't
hurt each other.
Maybe try it and if either party totally freak separate them again.
Hope this helps
