So I have only been raising chickens for about a year and have a lot of questions. However, my first question isn’t even about my chickens. I live on about 5 acres which is pretty much the norm for around here. My neighbor has some hens and roosters that they free range. I mean completely free range, no coop, no feed, no continuous source of water, etc. Last night my German Shepherd brought me a chick that was only a few days old. Yes she had it in her mouth and dropped it in my lap. I got up with the baby chick and took it outside to investigate. I found one of my neighbors hens bedded down up against my fence for my dog. Now I do not want nor need these chicks but I hate to see them get injured or eaten by a coyote. So if you are still with me here is my question. Would it be wrong for me to open up a small moveable coop so the mama and her babies can have somewhere to go at night. I don’t know if they will even be willing to use it but I would like to give them all the best chance I can. What do you think?
