Hello

[Steve Bezer-Brown]

I am getting 4 hens in three weeks time when I come back off holiday. Likely to be hybrids. So any tips and suggestions will be very welcome.

Welcome to BYC.

Do you have a large coop ready to go for them?

 

[Steve Bezer-Brown]

Yes bought a coop and added a large run for them for when I am at work. They have plenty of shelter and room to for ridge etc or sit on perches with good views. Also double skimmed the wire to prevent foxes etc getting to them if I am not there

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Already having predator proof housing before the chickens arrive has you ahead of where most people start!
