Hello Everyone we need some help asap. thanks for adding us.
My husband and I live in Texas with two super great dogs a terrier and a heeler and a very large organic garden.
Suddenly, two roosters and five hens came into our lives; we live in an urban homestead area. We have to keep the flock intact. We aren't certain of their previous owner's future housing situation; so we are planning on fostering this flock for a while.
We have them in a very large poultry pen 64 square feet with roosting boxes and their old coop attached. for our garden safety and our dog's peace that's it for now.
We have a better walk-in shed coop we are redesigning and free range will happen after fence improvement.
We were given their food which we can take to tractor supply to see if we can match it; it's in a container as all the direction we were given is that it's from tractor supply.
we got them a new feeder and waterer.
How do we practice safe chicken handling/ coop cleaning etc. as I have asthma? Also avian diseases?
But most importantly how do we help our chickens stay healthy and happy because I do everything for my dogs so I want to make sure I keep that level of care for our chicken friends.
thank you thank you thank you in advance!
