Yes but it smells like gasoline and is infested with wasps. The coop will be secure enough temporarily unless a predator can break through the chicken wire.
Their coop is admittedly not all that secure. It has a room for them to sleep in and a small yard, both with chicken wire. I'm buying a new coop soon, but the current is not very secure. They are in my backyard which is in the woods of the Carolinas.
It is 10:05 p.m and I was in my bedroom whenever I heard my chickens peeping from outside. I was concerned because they never do this, so I turned the back light on and looked out the window. I saw nothing out there, but they still kept peeping loudly from what I could hear. I have the kitchen...
It depends. While chickens do better with other chickens, if you have the right amount of heat (but not to where you are frying your chick) the wellbeing of the chick would go down, but if you make sure it has a good source of heat at all times, the little fellow will at least not freeze to...
I have one Golden Comet Pullet and one Production Red (specific to Cackle Hatchery) and I'm having a hard time naming them. I've decided not to take pictures of them yet so they can settle in but I need cool, corny, or cute names for one golden colored pullet and one light red and white pullet...
I've just had four chickens and am getting more, but we had some pretty odd names:
Colonel Sanders (White Sussex)
Chick Magnet (Speckled Sussex)
Missy (Orpington)
Evie (jet black and died before I knew the breed)
This is my chicken, Chick Magnet a day after we got her with her sister and fellow chick. They were older chicks, but not pullets. We got them in August.
I have no recent pictures of her on this device, but she looks like this, a Speckled Sussex pullet.
However, she hasn't laid a single egg...
I live in the Southern United states, so most of the time its sunny, slightly hot, rains moderately and winters have weather as low as 20 degrees at the least. Hardly ever snows.
Good to know, and thanks for all of your help. I'm looking for some friendly pullets right now for her to hang out with, and will make those improvements.
I got my chicken in August, and I'm still a newbie. In the Spring, I'm planning to buy three of four new chickens, and I had a few questions. The last time I got chicks, they were much older then the age I want my new flock to be when I first get them. The reason being that my old flock learned...
Around 2 feet wide and its some type of wood (not sure which but seems to be strong) and then also it protects them from most things because of the chicken wire
The rooster got eaten during their free range time and we put them back in the coop at night.
