Not familiar with the set ups you have. Do what you think works...

I'm going to wait a day or so and let them get settled with their new additions then I'll make the move. The garde is fenced with garden fencing and they can run for cover under the rabbit hutch if necessary. ... Fancy and Sassy are two of my best and most cautious hens so I think they would be safe enough as long as they get locked into the hutch at night. Still going to think on it. Didn't have staples to put up the smaller fencing on the other co-op to chick proof it so the hutch will have to do for now Until the hubbs gets some. It's a decent enough size for now but they will need the space as they grow.
 
The good thing is this hutch will be awesome in the future for broodies to lay on their nest and hatch out some chickies. Better than the one they were in this go around. I'm going to attempt to get lavender going (again). It's supposed to me calming for nesting hens.....

Hocus Pocus!:lau:gig

This is why we love you!:hugs

Mint is also good. Deters rodents, bugs, and such. Since I planted mine up at the house I don't see a lot around there.
 
I got the lavender and mint from a local old timer.....:idunno

She is into lots of holistic natural things.... given me lots of advice that works..... I don't do added supplements. Just use poultry protector and my wound spray when needed. If it's not going to make it its not going to make it. If they thrive I'm happy. If I need to cull, I will. Other than trying the lavender and mint I'm with you!:highfive:
