New to chickens

Welcome to BYC Carl! It's so nice to meet you!
You have a lovely new flock! If you need any help with them don't hesitate to ask questions!

Welcome to BYC! Real nice setup an coop! I have one recommendation, cover the top to keep flying predators out.

Would basic chicken wire work for that?

Possibly I can’t see a hawk or owl flying through chicken wire but maybe others on the Predator an Pest forum can advise. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/predators-and-pests.13/

We had a couple of them eat out of our hand already. Pretty cool.

Hoping they go in the coop at night by themselves and we don’t have to chase them haha!

Got our first couple eggs already today! So cool!

They all went inside the coop around 7:30, so we locked the doors up good. Should be nice and safe until the morning.

We got quite a few more today. So far 4 eggs today. Up over half a dozen now. Pretty cool!
