Quote: thank you for your help Do you think putting netting over part of it so the chickens can run under it would help? Would having our outdoor dogs and feral cats running around be enough to help deter hawks from getting the chickens? I haven't seen any hawks around although I'm sure if...

Quote: Well thats good that makes me feel better about the cats. I will just have to grow them out in my stable to make sure they are safe from everything until they are grown. Thats pretty neat that they sort of go into the coop on their own. I would like to keep them free run butI think...

well I was thinking of doing something like a large grassy area fenced in to let them roam in during the day and then a small area to keep them safe in at night. Although I have a concern about trying to round up chickens every night. Does anyone have to do this every night? Do the chickens get...

oh I probably should have mentioned that we have dogs as well as barn cats. Then we have racoons and possibly bob cats as predators so I am not sure how free ranging would work with that? We would need atleast a large area fenced in so that the other animals couldnt get in. and then maybe...

Quote: Oh yea he never shuts up! He crows at me like clock work. everytime I cluck at him or mock crow he will do it back I was hoping it was friendly, cuz if so I have a new friend he is super pretty i love his feathers! I can't wait till hes finished growing

He lives by himself now. He used to live with other chickens but we work at a store and he is the store bird. He now lives by himself although we might get a hen to keep him company. So I am not sure if he is trying to call hens to eat? or if its just a noise they make no matter what?

ok here is one of the things he does i got it on video for you guys

Hi I have a Silver Bantam Rooster He likes to do his "cock a doodle doo" at me when I pass by his cage. He also makes these sort of squeek/purring at the same time type noises after I've put food in his cage. Sometimes he will peck and scratch in front of me as well as I stand by his cage and...
