DEFINITELY about the predator-proof area when we are out of town. I need to look into a hanging feeder, methinks. I have an auto-waterer that works well - although they can get it messy given the time. Thanks for all the input - it is greatly appreciated!!

Wow!! Thanks for such a great response. I knew I could count on my fellow-chick lovers. Haha, the leash would be pretty funny - our dog has a harness and Mom thought that would work real well for Jet (she's the one who likes me - the others are nervous ninnies). So after mowing this...

So, my girls & guys live in a chicken coop with a chicken door to their enclosed pen. However, a mole has made its presence known, and I fear it's eating all my chickens' bugs!!! I'm sure that is a little irrational but still. I also would like for them to be able to roam about the yard, but...

hahahaa!! Grits ;o) Grit it is! Thank you!

Thanks so much! I need all the advice I can get. We had chickens growing up, but I wasn't really in charge! Now my husband & I have an old farmhouse complete with chicken coop and are really excited. I can't wait til it stops raining so we can go out for 'recess'! hahaha!! I will def take...
