    Thank you. I will go look for one. I just did not know how big it needs to be for one at a time.

    Dust bath

    No they do not free range. That is not my yard in the back. I only have to the metal post. That is why I move them every few days. We are trying to get the lot next to us for a garden and chicken area. My yard is not fenced and even if it were we have several feral cats around us. And a...

    Dust bath

    Coop 1 I bought thinking it would hold 4 hens. I was so very wrong. The run to me was not big enough for 2 so I bought the part in coop 2. It is covered because the top is open. I would be putting the dust bath bin under the tarp to keep the rain off. That area is about 6 x 6 or so.

    How long till they lay

    I am not certain at all. All I can do is believe her. I met her at a farmers market/swap. I know it is not a good place to get hens but I was so desperate and did not want chicks at this time of year. I don't have a place to keep them warm at this time. Thank you. I mainly wanted to make...
