    lost my chicks last night,best way to integrate/replace them? chicks vs pullets?

    So some predators got some of my chicks last night. What would be the best/easiest way to "replace" them and integrate them with the current flock? Get baby chicks, brood them, and then integrate ? Or buy them already pullets and integrate them as older chicks? They're about eight weeks...

    For the run - use sand, mulch, wood shavings, or soil?

    Just wondering what would be best for the run/outside part. Our coop does have a roof over the run but we want to fill the bottom with something because we have hardware cloth on the bottom, so we're not sure what to fill it up. Any recommendations/tips? Thanks!

    Coop/run at bottom of slope - prevent muddy/water pooling in run?

    So the blue rectangle below is where I'm planning to put my chicken coop/run. We are building our own but it will probably roughly look like this. Anyway, the blue rectangle is the only area I can build the cook because in my city, the coop has to be x feet away from every neighbor's house and...
