Hey Ya'll. Is there any chance anyone could take my two boys? My broody hatched 2 eggs and both are boys.
One is full Ameraucana the other is mixed Ameraucana Maran.
Just keep the tall grass and weeds away from the coop and you wont have much of a snake problem. Agree 100% with an elevated coop. Love mine. Easy to clean and care for. Plan on shade curtains for the west side of the run. Helps a lot with the heat. And ventilation, ventilation...
We , Frankfort here, get all four seasons. Sometimes in the same day. You will have to prepare for brutal 98 - 101 Temps and brutal -35 wind chills. Torrential rains from tropical depressions and drought for weeks. Welcome home!

That might seem...

As the saying goes Get chickens and the Predators will come.
That was my main concern too. One of your big expense will be hardware cloth. Don't even bother to buy chicken wire.
And I would strongly suggest investing in an auto door. It only takes 1 time to forget to shut the pop door or...
I'm so glad.
I have got to get the winter panels off my run! This rain has my roofed , guttered, drained and ditched run a mud pit from the water coming up from the ground.
Getting the panels off will allow more air flow to dry it out.
