Hi I'm interested in this thread , so following , I have had trouble and have lost a few of my girls to a fox , soi hatched 14 on 2 of October and this will be my first time bring chicks in to a cold coop all advice will be welcome .

Thanks for all the feed back on my first egg we received two more yesterday and ate them this morning with two excited grand children I thought I was excited it was a good breakfast !

Ya !!! Got my first egg today ! I've got 7 hens that are 18 weeks . I was not expect ung them to start so soon

this Jenny red she is 17 weeks old she should be laying soon !

My chickens are 12 to 13 weeks old every day when I get home from work there in the coop . As soon as I get out they come running to the gate and ill toss In The left over from my lunch . It's fun to do but ya they lik to hang out in the coop

Water is important to any animal , keeping water in the run and in the coop is a good idea ! We keep feed in the coop and feed table scraps in the run that way they can eat and drink were ever they find it. Hope this helps . Happy farming

Hay out there , I up there protein with a few night crawler's and a few other left overs from supper . It help with them eating feathers ! Thanks for the good info . Happy farnming
