In the Brooder
I have recently gotten 6 chicks (they are about a week and a half) with the idea I had already found a coop we would get that would provide safety and an area to move in, easily clean and easily gather eggs. That was until I found out how small the coop was. I have 4 RIRs and 2 ISA Browns, and I am realizing that I will need closer to 20-24 sq. Ft to house them. I am planning on doing free range, so it will mostly be for overnight and more winter time use.
So I figured I would look at some other options, but due to the current state of things, I am finding anything that would be big enough is way out of our current budget and I am trying to find practical, simple plans that will still meet all the needs that I listed above and won't break the bank. I know we have coyotes, foxes, the occasional cougar (they call them Pumas around here), bobcats, neighborhood cats, snakes and raccoons. At this point I am just overwhelmed and not sure which options are the best.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!
