This is our second flock, first was killed by local dog pack. We have 12 new babies: 4 Buff Orpingtons, 4 Golden Cross X Links; 4 Easter Eggers. When they are old enough they'll be in a 28' x 14' pen with corrugated metal roofing, chicken-wire sides reinforced with field fence, shadecloth, and a dirt floor. The frame of the pen is a garage building, so it has a really high ridgeline. Lots of ventilation, sunshine and shade.

Additional info: 6 acres of fenced pasture with treeline north and west property lines, open south and east. 30 miles south of Fort Worth, TX. Predators: cayotes, hawks, owls, skunks, snakes, racoons, possums, dog packs, feral cats. According to a climate map, we are in a "humid subtropical" climate. Some days I believe that, other days, not so much.
