    Predators and run

    Hello everyone. I'm retrofitting an existing coop. I have a nice large zig-zag area for a run that is at the edge of the woods. We have skunk, racoon, possum, probably fox, and deer. Half of the area has some sort of wooden fence, either the side of the coop, a garage or 6' tall cedar fence. I...

    How do I buy 2-3 chicks in NH?

    Tractor + Coop = confusing?

    How do I buy 2-3 chicks in NH?

    Can someone please tell me how to buy only a few (2-4) chicks in NH? I want them for my kids, but live in a city and can't possibly have 12 chickens in my yard. Thanks!

    Retrofitting a large, old coop

    Hi everyone, first time posting at this great forum. I have a large (6x12 foot) henhouse that has been acting as a garden shed for a couple of decades. It has electricity, large windows, vents, etc. It also has a dirt floor that has been covered over with cinder block and plywood sheets (badly...
