I'm Terry from southeast Wisconsin and very new to raising chickens, or as my 3 year old grandson calls them - the chicken nuggets
! In early May, I purchased what was supposed to be five pullet Easter-eggers; but now looks to be one bantam and four pullets....... My husband and I (along with the kids) are perusing all the beautiful coops on the site for ideas. At present, we have them in a kit-built one that he bought at our local farm supply store, but, they have quickly outgrown it!
We live on five beautiful acres so the girls (?) have access to a lot of insects and greens. Do you know where they spend most of their time?? In the garage. Roosting behind my car. Sitting on the shelves or push lawn mower. And, of course, pooping everywhere! Fortunately, they are hilarious to watch and have wonderful personalities. It makes all the poop worthwhile.
Everyone in the family has handled them since they were a day or two old; but now, they HATE being handled. Getting them into their coop at dusk has become a comedic enterprise; any suggestions from the experts would be appreciated.
