re: Tell me about raising chickens

Different breeds are fine. Just take your time introducing new chickens to your flock. Chickens can be mean shits. As long as they have plenty of room they should be gtg. What you have is a chicken tractor. As long as they are moved often enough then scent should be at a minimum, but as a rule, chicken coops smell like chicken shite. Poop boards under their roost helps. Buff orpingtons are a great breed. Great personalities. My 3 year old son carries ours around like a puppy! Lol
