Both window shades open all day. They get natural light all day and natural sun setting light

Awwwww that is such a comforting thing to say thank you . But I don't believe it. They are screaming.

No. In the house with a ceramic heat bulb. No light. I thought natural light was best. But they seemed terrified of the sun going down

3 babies are 4 weeks old. Fine all day. But when the sun is going down. They just cry and cry. They cry for about 30 mins. Then are quiet all nite. But it's killing me. I'm using a ceramic heat element. So no light. Should I leave the room light on all nite. Or will they adjust as they get older ?

Exactly how high off the coop floor can the nesting boxes be ?

That's just what I thought. I'm not keeping the tortoise with the chickens. But I suppose at some point in time there might be a few encounters. YES only worried about my tortoises eyes with the chickens being curious. My tortoise is 80 lbs and still growing but still concerned a small quick...

Anyone have any experience or knowledge of chickens around a tortoise ? My only concern is if the chickens get curious and peck at the tortoises eyes ??

Ohhh darn

Can I get everyone opinion on which breeds are best for having a low fence ? Thank you

Ok, interesting. So your saying it's better not to have a top cap " wood" on top of the fence. Gives them something to aim for. Use just wire instead ??

I've read that. But does that stop them from getting over a 4 ft fence ?

Ok. If I only have a 4 ft fence. What kind of chickens should I get that would be more unlikely to get over it ? I've heard some are much more flighty than others
