Yes I know I just don't want to crowd my chickens with a third one so of one goes they aren't lonely. I read getting two would be good to start out with but I guess the websites I read and post did not say anything about predators taking them. Is it hard to put another chicken in their if one...

I guess I don't really know what's out there at night but my backyard is not big and my dogs are constantly going in and out to use the restroom. But my coop is secure. I have locks on the gate and bricks and boards around it so my dogs can't dig in it But as for the size of my coop, some...

Well we don't live in the high deserts where mountain lions and coyotes are. We live like an hour away from L.A. So it's kind of city/suburban like. As for hawks I don't see them. My neighbors have tiny chihuahuas that live outdoors and they have never been picked up. My dogs keep cats out. And...

Thank you.!

Okay well the only predator is my dogs. But we have been teaching them to stay away from the chickens house and they have. The only way they can get a chicken is if it accidently gets out when I open the door. My dogs are little so it is easy to control them. But I don't think I have enough...

Really :( I went out to measure it and it's 6 feet by almost three feet. Okay, maybe I will wait and see what happens after Easter on craigslist :( just read a post that reminded me about all the chicks just being forgotten after Easter. What is the SoCal loop.?

Oh okay, maybe I will pick one up when I go buy their starter feed but do you think I can keep three chickens in this run.? the run is maybe six feet by two and half feet. Also if I get another chick I will have to brood her separately because my girls are ready to move out this week.! If I get...

Thank you for your concern :) I now know that I can not get layer feed, i will just get the bag of grower even if it is 50 pounds for two chickens.! It won't hurt my chickens to be on starter feed still while laying eggs will it.?

My chicks live inside with me in an old guinea pig cage. Every morning around 8 I take them out and I bring them in when it gets dark. They wait outside by the run door for me so I was starting to get worried when they actually live in there and sleep outside they will wait outside by the door...

Oh okay :3 I am trying to think of snacks and stuff to feed my chickens as they get older. I also have another question, when you first let chicks out to sleep in the coop/run will they sleep in the run for a couple nights because they are confused.?

Thank you everyone for helping me with this question my chickies and I appreciate it

WOW.! At what age did you start giving them cat food.?

Yeah that's what I thought :( I have two chickens. Okay I will start them on grower food after they finish the bag of starter :)

My chicks are 5 and 3 weeks I was told after six weeks to start grower feed, but at the pet feed store the worker told me I could start layer feed after 6 weeks. The grower feed they have only comes in a big bag and he said that I can just skip grower feed and start layer. Is this true.? When do...
