I’m sorry to read about the damage from that storm. Here in austin we got some heavy rain, but no winds.
We are working on getting a fence company to set the pens in chain link and the having a cover built over the last third of the pen for weather production.
Us, too! We’ve had somewhere in the neighborhood of 12” rain since mid-June, and that’s very unusual. Welcome, though! Been trying to build a larger coop for the girls - on hold for now til it dries up a bit. We’re in Anderson County.I should be happy for rain here in Central TX, but this is literally putting a huge damper on my coop construction.
I wouldn't if the hen is trying to attack her
Ok thanks I'll just wait till she's 3 months old and let her outside away from the protective mama chicken. We have a big 6ft fence around our yard so my baby chick should be safe from her if she outside the fence.
Oh, I think I misunderstood then, if she'll be in an area the broody can't get to her, it should be ok. Wait, are you talking about letting her out with the rest of the flock? I'm not opposed to that, but she'll need some accommodations, i.e. a safe space only she can get in to with food and water, and plenty of places to duck for cover from the other birds. Pics of your setup and what exactly you have in mind please.
I just happen to have a 4 week old black copper marans cockerel you can have, I'm about an hour and 40 min south of you. Welcome to the Texas thread and BYC!
