Thank you all for your response. I actually was mistaken. The molting happened with our last chickens that got wiped out by a coyote.
Since these are replacements, and were already producing, I don't know when they molted last. Everything else is accurate.
Thanks,
We have (6) Australorps, (2) Wyandottes and (7) Leghorn. They have a nice coop and quite of bit of space to roam. We bought them from someone getting out of chickens (2 different sources) and for a month or so we got good production. (8-12 a day) Then about 3 months ago I think they molted...
Wow, 2 hens? Really? I was hoping for 4-6
I live in Arizona, so no snow in the future, but I will take the recommendations and treat it before assembly.
My yard has an 8' block wall around it, and I live in suburbia. How much do I really need to worry about predators? I also have a dog...
