New owner of 15 RIR chickens and a coop that my wife calls the "Chicken Fortress." She says I over engineer everything. Even had our first chick emergency already. At least what seemed like an emergency to the inexperienced. They are now 9 weeks old, and the first question I here is "When are they going to start laying." The second being "Can I have a dozen."
Kinda asking myself the same first question. Mentally I know when they should start laying. My heart tells me another thing.
The girls have plenty of things and areas to duck under in case of attack from the sky, but........ My trail cam has picked up a Fisher cat around in the wee hours, but the chicken fortress will keep them out. Still after reading so much in the Pred forum, does not make my sleep any easier. I know I am babbling. I want to get to be a happy chicken owner with lots of information from the people in the know on this site. I have already gained a lot of information and help.
Well thanks for listening to my rambling. God Bless and a Hearty Hi O Silver. I just told you my age for the ones who remember that last part.
