Hey everyone I could use some advice. I posted in another thread, and rather than paraphrase or retype it here is the link:

Make sure to cover top of their run with preferably hardware cloth
Lots of aerial/climbing predators

The importance of ventilation can't be emphasized enough. Check out the coops forum. Good luck.

Hello Fellow CT Peeps! I wanted to pop in and see if anyone here knew the rules and regulations for raising chickens in Southigton? If not does anyone know where I could find info?

Also, wanted to comment on this... I notice you state that you would be "insulating" your coop. I would be very careful about doing this. Too much heat in a coop could cause a lot of problems in both Winter AND Summer! I live in Upstate NY by the way. My coops are not insulated and I ran into a problem with my silkie coop this last winter. A few of my birds had gotten frost bite on their toes because there was not enough ventilation in the coop. Chickens generate a lot of heat and having insulating in a coop is not always a good thing. I would be careful with what you choose to do as far as that part of it goes. Also, it can get very hot in the summer. So if you have an insulated coop, will it be removable for the spring/ summer months?

Really? Well isn't that interesting.... Know quite a few people with them. Which is why my friend was interested. So I guess these people have them illegally??
