Welcome from New Mexico!
I just started a chicken ranch
I've pwned a lot of chickens before but they've all been in salads and sandwiches and in buckets of KFC, this will be my first tiem feeding them instead of me lolololol
So I've decided on ordering 25 one-day-old chicks of varying breeds- half broilers, half layers; the large Snap Lock chicken coop, as well as a Rugged Ranch Products welded wire chicken pen with some extra cages in it for quarantining the sick ones or disciplining the naughty ones if they can't behave and act right
"But building a coop is cheap/fun"
I have no problem paying a lot of money for something if it's worth it.
Yes, this setup will cost ten times more than building a coop and twice as much as a fancy wooden kit ; but this will help keep the mess down since I will be able to periodically relocate it around the property to fertilize where needed and easily clean the setup without worry of damaging anything... and the added protection of the enclosed pen will, hopefully, stave off Coyote Holocaust long enough for the dogs to come to the rescue.
A question for my redneck friends and fam:
I know mules and llamas are bad for coyote health, but what about alpacas or huizos? Are they just as naturally vicious toward them or does their smaller stature, gentler nature and cuteness basically make them a slightly. Larger meal than the birds would
