I moved to South Bay a few weeks ago and the house came with an old but massive chicken run/coop (we think the previous owners kept ducks as well). I thought no better time than now to try out keeping chickens and tried my best to clean out the coop and patch some holes in the fencing (I’m still worried that it’s not entirely predator proof, since I don’t know whether they buried fence apron and we live in an area with lots of coyotes, raccoons, etc).
here’s our five golden comets enjoying their first meal in the run. Excited to learn lots from everyone.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
Totally new! Got them yesterday.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
5 and soon to be a dozen
(3) What breeds do you have?
Golden comets
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens?
Excited for eggs!
(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I love making art and hiking.
(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
We have a completely indoor cat (he’s deaf)
