Hi everyone, ready to insert an eyeroll? ![Wink ;) ;)](/styles/byc-smilies/wink.png)
I'm completely confused on how to get started with what I currently have. Not sure how to add pics, but my coop is a standard coop with attached run (similar to any you can find on Amazon) that is advertised being able to hold 4-6 LF chickens. They'll have a larger enclosed area outside the coop/run to free range daily, and then will be let out to officially free range across our entire backyard often.
Looks like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Large-8-Woo...se-4-6-Chickens-nesting-box-Run-/391364341115
My 4 LF and 2 bantam chicks arrive next week. I live in N. Texas where daytime highs are currently in the low 100s, nights around 80 degrees.
Not sure how to proceed with the chicks? I prefer to get them outside as soon as possible - I can keep them in the garage until they get too big for a large Tupperware and I've read all about MHP and wool hens and other things...but not sure how they could apply to me, my current setup and my current temperatures.
Advice?
