I'm so beyond new to chickens. But my coop is almost finished. Well it was finished but I've had some revisions since joining this site But it's almost done again. I live in Louisiana and really want Araucanas. Just so there are more of them in the world. And their eggs are just beautiful. So experts, I ask what should I do to prepare my coop for pullets. I don't know what started pullets mean. But I want them before they lay eggs but not day olds. Waterer suggestions? I got the feed covered, but What about Heat over our southern winter?
Good luck with the pullets! After 8 weeks they should be fine without a heat lamp, especially down south. As long as you have a coop for them to go to, even if you get cold, they should be able to find warmth in the coop. I really want Aracauna's, but there are no local breeders (go figure. North Idaho: the home of NOTHING!)
Karen and CGilbert thank you for the great advice! I really appreciate it. Im so excited to get started but I want to do it right. I can't thank y'all enough for your help. (North Idaho...Home of nothing lol! Bless your heart!)
