Hi. I am pretty excited about this site and all your experiences. I am a missionary to Haiti. I had been planning to raise chickens in Haiti. Then a friend gave me 4 chicks to raise in his backyard. (Then I got 4 more) My plan is to teach families there how to raise chickens in their tiny backyards. So far in just a few months I have experienced losing a chick because I let it get cold, and losing two of his chickens to raccoons. On the fun side we built a nice cage and have put many of your ideas into practice. I can hardly wait to share what I have learned from you with them. Thank you for this wonderful website and all your shared experiences.
 
I just found that on here! Looks like I have a lot more reading to do. I have a friend in Haiti right now who is on the hunt to locate me some new chicks. However I have become attached to these babies here and will miss them!

glad you have joined us.

Sorry about the losses. Do explore the learning center articles and coop/run forums especially for predator protection.

Are you able to get hardware cloth in Haiti? I remember one past new member post in a similar location who reported it was not available. If you can, then please use it in your future pens.
 
Thanks everyone for the nice welcome. My husband thinks we can get the hadware cloth in Haiti. There is a store in Port au aprince that is very simular to Home Depot here. Its getting dark here so I will take pictures of this coop tomorrow. However when I get to Haiti next month I want to make the coop more proficient for that country.
