So we finally did it! We got our first set of chicks about 6 weeks ago. Went into TSC and got 6 red pullets. And a box coop, a friend called us "Slickers" I said -- HEY whatever gets me chicks!-- The girls just LOVE them and they even enjoy helping me clean out the coop and fed/water them...
My husband thinks this is a feasible idea.... we have enough space for a container garden and possibly a small coop but don't chickens need a yard? Would ground cover be enough? Anyone have luck with a patio coop.
I'd like to get started raising chickens, I live rurally but I rent. My husband said we could build a coop on the patio?? I doubt his theory as I think chickens need ground... I could be wrong, I am here to learn and get started so I can stop buying eggs and start collecting them! :D
I do have...
