This week is going to be a bit different today im doing a supplies list for raising chicken!!


Lets get started first you will probably need something to hold your chickens in.Now you could build a chicken coop,pen or chicken tractor I know choices! But what I would recommend that you have a coop with a chicken tractor for moving them around.

This is your average chicken coop!

This is a chicken Tractor!

This a chicken pen!

Now that you have picked out what you want time to pick the chickens! Now you can see some of my favorites from my other post I also have a chicken chart telling you what chickens you should get depending on what you need them for!

So now that you got your chickens now you need some feed!Depending on what kind of chickens you got some of the feed may not include your chicken breed so I would make sure to read the label to see if I fix your chickens needs!

This is probably the best feed for laying hens!

This is the best cheap feed for all chickens!

So you almost completely set up! Here are some of the little things you might need.

Heres the feeders and waters you should get if you have a large flock!

Heres the feeders and waters you should get if you have a small flock!

Now look at you! you got all your chicks in a row! have fun and check out rual kings chicken days if you want cheap chicks and ducks!
