Hi,Im in Oxford ct and am seriously thinking on getting a few chix, but I have some questions for other CT residents (and non ct residents also..any input is good input!)
1) If I get say, 4 chix, would one rooster be enough?
2) How big of a coop should I mke them?
3) how big of a pen should the have to run around in?
4) I dont want them to intermingle with my dogs cause one is a coon hound and will not leave them alon, I just know it and the other is an Aussie / border collie mix with a huge prey drive(will always go after my cats with fire in her eyes like they killed her family or something)
5) Winterizing.. what or how to winterize them and their coop.
6) Eggs.. how many eggs and how often from four chickens?
thats it for now. Thanks for any info you can spare.
