Hello,
New member here from Bertram, TX. I'm in the process of setting up a coop and am hoping to leverage the more experienced folks on this site as I'm new to raising chickens.
Some beginner questions; I live on an acre and have two small sections that are already fenced. Each section is roughly 200 square feet. I was thinking of starting off with a half dozen pullets, would 200 square feet be enough, or should I expand it to 400?
I have six dogs (I'm a sucker for rescues). They are all adults and will need to be kept away from the chickens, so the rest of the property is off limits unless I put the dogs up.
Anyway, I have a lot of questions floating around in my head but figured I'd start off with that one
