Getting our first pullets in July. I think we are ready but I have some rather dumb-sounding questions. Please forgive me!
Feeder and waterer -- hang, or sit on bricks on the ground? If it's hanging, how to you keep it/them from swinging around?
Dust bath -- in the coop or in the run? Our run is covered. The dust bath container (an under bed storage bin) also has a cover, I can move it in the coop when we have heavy rains. Is this a good plan?
Food and water - -in the coop or in the run? Or both? What about when they are free ranging outside of the run? I live in southwestern NC.
Rain -- should you leave your chickens in the coop in the rain?
"First aid kit" -- what should I have to be able to deal with chicken illnesses/injuries?
I told you -- dumb questions. But I can't find answers anywhere else! Thanks!
