    Cream Legbar Chicks

    Oh okay that's great to know. I plan on getting a few chicks this weekend. I do have a question. First, I'm thinking about using the workshop to put the chicks in a night. But I have a couple of questions. First, its a concrete floor. So I plan on putting something down on it first. I believe...

    Oh okay, so if I get day old chicks, I keep them inside until fully feathered, and then around 2 months I can put them in the chicken run, separated but then do I still bring them in at night. I nighttime lows are between 52 and 60. I don't have electric out by the chicken coop or run; though...

    I'm a first timer raising chicks, and I was always told and read that they need to be fully feathers before they can go outside. Although its been in the 70s, and into the mid 80 here is NW Florida. Is there something that I'm missing?

    Cream Legbar Chicks

    Oh okay, that's what I was thinking.

    Hello, So I finally got my chicken run fortified. We have hardwire attached to the outside of the run, then we have hog pens attached to the run and then maybe 1-2 feet from the run we have an electrical fence. Of course, the top of the run is enclosed and on half of the top we have a black...

    Do I Need a Ladder? (New to Raising Chickens)

    Yes the hog fencing is for the dogs. The hardware fence didn't keep them out. The fencing will be 3 feet from the coop and the electrical fence will be inside of that and then I will have to fence the coop run. This is set further in. The dogs broke into that area. So between the barrier for the...

    Do I Need a Ladder? (New to Raising Chickens)

    oh okay, thank you everyone for your input. Well, three weeks ago; 3 pits broke into my chicken run, and I lost my entire flock 😭😭. I live in a rural/country area and I'm on a dead-end street; we only have 6 homes on our street. Our neighbor who has been here for 10 years (we just moved here...

    Do I Need a Ladder? (New to Raising Chickens)

    Thank you everyone for your responses. I understand that the chickens would be able to jump/fly up, but I was more concerned with the Buff Orpingtons. I thought that they would be too heavy to fly up (thought I read that somewhere) LOL :)
