I plan to start small perhaps 8 birds.if you have an existing pen as I do and convert it(add)on more predator proofing..this is the place to ask..these folks are super helpful.I'm appreciative....I'm not in all the time but lurking helps too
I'm working through my winter projects and my olde dog kennel will change to a coop area.I have it at6ft high x10 wide x20 long and have4more panels perhaps to make tractor in the future..this is still all in planning..haven't had any birds yet.I do lurk and read up all as possible...great site...
I must reply
.in the past perhaps8years ago one of my dogs that wander was under the gun for getting a chicken from neighbor...she claimed it was him...black dog....yes yes yes....ok....I thought I'd get a good inventory of neighboring dogs....lotta black dogs around..took a few days...Roscoe...
Seems like my iresponse gets cut....sorrry folks...I'd love the idea of free range.....I'd have to make a tractor
The cats only want to get a stray mouse....I'm learning.
From sites I've read...you can order just about any breed/type you'd like.I'm not in this stage right now to get chicks
...but most sites seem easy to navigate to purchase...just saying...welcome..in.new bee...I'm same way too...new..
