i am getting 2 barred rock pullets, 2 silver laced wyandottes and 2 silver laced cochins.
we just finished their coop today and are very excited to get our pullets. although, im starting to think i dont know what ive gotten my family into.
please excuse the million questions:
any recommendations on food?
can they be in their coop full-time? i do live in the mtns, temps around 80 during the day and 55 at night.
do i need a lamp for them outside? keep indoors? and where do i keep such big pullets indoors with 2 young kids already?
training?
treats?
predators? should i only let them out to free-roam when i am there to watch for predators?
and any other helpful advice for a first time "chicken mom"
