Hi! I just moved from the city to well, the middle of nowhere. I was at the store the other day getting things for the flower beds and they had the most adorable baby chicks. So I've decided If I have to live in the country then I should have some animals. The house we live in has an old chicken coop (its an old farm house) but with no fence. I've been told both that I do and do not need a fence bc chickens roam? Also, there are at least 2 cats that live in one of our barns - if there are chickens roaming around they should be ok right?!?! I read on here that chickens will eat small snakes (thank goodness!) but might attract mice. But hopefully this will all work out....no snakes bc of the chickens...and no mice bc of the cats. I live in indiana so I'm thinking that if the chickens are inside the coop at night they should be ok - I'm just worried about the fence and cats! And what about winter -- do they just stay outside? Hmmm...let me know! THANK YOU!!!
