I am a new chicken keeper building my first coop for 6 hens. I'm planning a 60 Watt fluorescent light bulb on a timer or light...but what about warmth? Do I need a heat lamp or a heat map for the water feeder? All advice appreciated!
I am a newbie looking for a cheap to build coop design for my 6 Black Australorps that can be secured against New Hampshire critters (fox, bobcat, fisher cat, racoon) and can be heated for our freezing New England winters. I am thinking of a 'tractor' to move my ladies around the yard. Maybe...
I am a first time home chicken keeper in Windham, southern New Hampshire. I have 6 Black Australorps. Looking for a chicken mentor and a nifty tractor design! I am very. Happy to find BYC!
