Hi! Just wondering how many chickens can comfortably fit in a 16x16ft coup. We will be getting leghorns and brahmas. Definitely don't want to over crowd. They will also have a run that will be the same size or bigger than the coop itself as well as be able to free range. (They will have at least...
We are in construction ( FINALLY) it's a walk in 10 by 12 coop, (walk in) it will eventually have a fenced run, but the birds will also be allowed outside/free range. I was thinking about sealing the wood floor then using straw or pine shavings.
shoot it and leave its body on he property for a week or so. We he to do that w the coyotes...theyhave killed three of my cats from may to last week its sad for sure but it has to be done. cant keep killing my pets.
Just commenting because you are in paso robles!!!! Im in paso too (b technically san miguel, but closer to paso!) If you know of any Buff leghorn, Standard light brahma breeders and Standard cochin breeders locally or in CA would you please let me know? Glad all your roos were adopted!
I am not local, but I looked this place up. From what I read they do allow pick ups.

My friend who is a breeder and has been breeding/ raising chickens fr years (shows, breeds, really in to it, not just a backyard kind of thing that I do) Confirmed 100% male.
Sorry, but he'll keep your flock safe Im sure!!
No, I wouldn't keep your windows shut, the spray bottle and noise will work, every times its on or near your property line, spray him and rattle the container or whatever noise maker, he'll learn not to come over. I don't think it would be worth suing, it would cost more than its worth and they...
Im not in the UK however I would first tell your neighbor what happened, then I would get a supply of spray bottles with water, and get some old water bottles or container and fill it with rocks orsomething that will make noise. ANYTIME you catch the cat on their property, spray it with water...
I have only ever had one hen (rhode island red) that killed every chicken/rooster I had. She was awful! I ended up "accidently" leaving her out a few nights, until coyotes snatched her. She was bad news. Other than that, all my chickens never had issues... even roosters I ended up getting...

Solutions for protecting poultry and other live stock from predators such as: birds of prey, coyotes, foxes, mountain lions? I have a covered pen for pigs, building a strong coup and enclosure for chickens, but they will also be let out during the day to free range. I want to make sure no...
