    No bedding nest box

    I asked this very loosely because I am terrible at math lol but approximately what angle do you think your nest box is in to have it roll over the grass?

    No bedding nest box

    Do chickens usually tend to stay away from nest boxes without any bedding? Trying to figure out if it’s better to do a rollout with no bedding or port with bedding.

    Silkie guess

    I know I’m asking the impossible here, but silkies near me are almost impossible to find, so thinking I’m gonna have to take a shot on these just looking for the best guesses. This is all I have to work with.

    New flock options

    Also have black australorp, Easter egger, and cream legbar near me (I understand these are standard size) out of those three which would be the best overall with three silkies?

    New flock options

    Good to know as they were labeled bantam pullets on the ad.its not about eggs it’s about an ongoing spider problem in our yard for years and desire to try a few chickens. Eggs are a bonus. The fence is the old wooden type but pressed up against a chain link at the same height (guess that’s a...

    Future yard expectations

    My yard is about 5000, 5500 sq ft and 90% natural, wild grass and lots of weeds. I keep seeing grass OR chickens. Looking at 3/4 to free range all day. How much tear up/damage can I expect? Will the wild grass/weeds most likely keep them busy?

    Upgrade prefab

    It’s more heat at night, day time ideally they’ll have the yard to roam as they please. Would a 12x12 louvre and a 300 cfm exhaust fan temp control work for summer nights? I figure winter just turn off the fan at use the two vents open air, and again, free range all day.

    Upgrade prefab

    Very new and inexperienced, that being said I was wondering if something could be done to upgrade this? Alternative thought was to buy an xl plastic dog house and adding a nesting box and roost post. Ultimately looking for 2 maybe 3 chickens. Overall hoping to help with an annual spider problem...
