I would like to thank everyone who was a part of me being on here.
Thank you for all advice, suggestions, letting me also add to other peoples' posts, and so much for those who sold such sweet chickens to me.
I am no longer able to have chickens or any sort of poultry. My heart condition is too advanced, I also am in the hospital a lot for congestive heart failure, plus pulmonary issues, and several more health problems. I also am not able to stand or walk at all anymore. My left leg is of no use to me. I can not even stand on it or use it to help balance to try to stand on the right leg.
My husband's health to where he can not take care of any poultry.
In addition to all that; no matter what we do, we can not keep predators away or out of the chicken house: raccoons, fox, weasels, and everything else. We made sure there are no holes, we put down over two dozen layers of flooring (chain link fence, criss crossed so none of it ran the same, hardware cloth also laid between every layer of chain link or other wire, and chicken wire fence also laid between layers of other wire). It also was ran up the sides of the walls at least 12 inches tall, and attached every few inches. Large size rock (called egg size gravel) and normal size rock all the way around inside and out. The roof has no leaks nor openings. But yet, in less than a month, over 30+ chickens were killed or disappeared. Twice Bill saw a weasel with a dead or dying chicken in its mouth. The chicken house was not too small. 30 feet by 40 feet.
I will be closing out my account within the next week or two.
Again, thank you so much to everyone.
