Hi! Just wondering how many chickens can comfortably fit in a 16x16ft coup. We will be getting leghorns and brahmas. Definitely don't want to over crowd. They will also have a run that will be the same size or bigger than the coop itself as well as be able to free range. (They will have at least...
We are in construction ( FINALLY) it's a walk in 10 by 12 coop, (walk in) it will eventually have a fenced run, but the birds will also be allowed outside/free range. I was thinking about sealing the wood floor then using straw or pine shavings.
shoot it and leave its body on he property for a week or so. We he to do that w the coyotes...theyhave killed three of my cats from may to last week its sad for sure but it has to be done. cant keep killing my pets.
Just commenting because you are in paso robles!!!! Im in paso too (b technically san miguel, but closer to paso!) If you know of any Buff leghorn, Standard light brahma breeders and Standard cochin breeders locally or in CA would you please let me know? Glad all your roos were adopted!
I am not local, but I looked this place up. From what I read they do allow pick ups.

Im not in the UK however I would first tell your neighbor what happened, then I would get a supply of spray bottles with water, and get some old water bottles or container and fill it with rocks orsomething that will make noise. ANYTIME you catch the cat on their property, spray it with water...
I have only ever had one hen (rhode island red) that killed every chicken/rooster I had. She was awful! I ended up "accidently" leaving her out a few nights, until coyotes snatched her. She was bad news. Other than that, all my chickens never had issues... even roosters I ended up getting...
Looking for breeders in Ca or for breeders that ship. Specifically looking for white and buff leghorns (chicks) Standard light Brahmas, and Standard cochins.
Im looking for someone who breeds show quality standard cochins. Im looking specifically for Columbian and Splash, but would also be interested in buying some good quality blacks and maybe a blue also :) I would need a breeder who ships or would be willing to ship to California. Thanks! I should...
