Hi, I inherited 29, {25 remain,} chickens recently. I don`t know breeds but they are happy. Most seem too young but I get a few eggs. I live in a wild area and had to "neutralize" a few raccoons. I lost 4 chickees, very sad, The birds free range in daytime, locked up at night, except 5 of them roosting in trees. I`m ok w/all this. I had pigeons decades ago so I have some familiarity w/coops, and bird thinking. I have cats but there`s lots of space here so they avoid each other. I saw a fox a few times but he/she must be too fearful to return, after I worked to hunt him/her, it got some of my chickees early on, one mother hen. That was hard. I`m here for listening to advice, maybe find out about getting a few more hens. I have too many cocks but w/the space and them being out all day it`s been manageable so far. { I call them all "chickees" and whistle to check in w/them, it`s been so much fun} thx, Charlie
Welcome fellow chicken lover.
