Hello, I'm a Hesperian too. Moved up here in 2010 from DTH ( El Monte to be exact). A few months back, some of my next door neighbor's chickens kept migrating to my backyard that he had to come by to get them. He ended up selling those runaway chickens to me. As I didn't have a chicken coop built in my yard yet, I just let them free-ranging around my acre property. Then one morning when I got out to go feed the chickens, I was shocked to find all of them (4) lying dead on the ground. Twas a very sad scene, I can't even describe how graphic their conditions were. Apparently, some predator came the night before to attack my poor chickens. After that horrible experience, I decided to build a chicken coop which is about done, I just have to build an enclosure for their run. Hope to learn more about chickens here and successfully raising them as I am a total beginner.
I am in the Baldy Mesa area and would like advise. Is it too late in the year to start a coop? Have an area that is part of an old horse stall I am going to close in and build a coop. Thinking it might be too late unless I can find adult chickens. Any advise would be appreciated. Any possible source of chickens also needed.
