Being three hours ahead, I missed seeing this when you posted it. You go girl. You’re moving through the darkness of grief and coming back into the light. Five chickens is a good number. At peak laying age they will lay once a day during the longest days of year. That five eggs a day, can you eat that many? Before others comment about selling yes you might be able to but don’t count on it. If you do, people liked them washed that’s a process that will take time. I’ve done it all I had as many as 100 chickens at one time. Feed isn’t cheap, yes free raining is nice, especially if you want to lose them to predators. The desert doesn’t offer enough to just free range. Lots of thoughts for you. Know what you’re getting into, that way you will succeed. You can do anything, you’ve proven that. Just be aware it isn’t what many people think it is. I’m down to about a dozen and that’s too many. Remember too that they won’t lay in the short winter months. One last caution, don’t leave the feed out. Leave extra in a metal trash can. Otherwise rats will find you and yes they will. You wanted fertile eggs? You might have chicks which is fun.

I’ve lost a good rooster to an eagle and chickens to raccoons and hawks. Chicken wire keeps chickens in but not predators out. You might consider running sections of wire around the perimeter buried 3-4 “ coyotes etc like to dig. Just some hints from someone who’s been there. It’s going on 14 yrs now.
@autumnmott248 ай бұрын
@@lechatbotte.big yes to burying the wire! Coyotes and other predators will dig for a good meal. As to all the other commetors suggesting ways to better secure the coop, take all their advice and then go beyond what you think is reasonable. I can promise you snakes, and other creatures will find a way in. Idk if you have racoons, but if so, you'll need to get better locks on the outside doors, as they're clever and can open most simple locks.

I used to have chickens. I had 26 at one point. I tell everyone, if you want to laugh ever day, get a chicken. Now having said that, your biggest worries will be predators. Including dogs. Blaze is *very* interested in the chickens so I know you're probably working with her on that one. My neighbor's dogs came down and killed 18 of my chickens once. It was a massacre. We ended up in court and everything. So you really need to make sure you're extra secure. I'd put a top on the run and cover the chicken wire with something stronger. Don't waste it, you can put it on the outside so a coyote or dog can dig under the fence. Racoons are also a worry. I don't know if you get them there but racoons are a-holes. They'll just kill the chickens and eat the head and leave the rest. Hopefully you can get the point that they can free range, that was really enjoyable for us. (we had 2 acres). If you want them to range in the little garden, you'll need a high fence and to clip their wings (just one side). they'll also eat ALL your pretty plants. lol. Congrats on your chickies. you can tell how happy they make you.

Your coop is so dreamy! I suggest digging and burying hardware cloth or cinder blocks around the base of your run and coop to stop the coyotes and foxes from digging in. Bury it under ground like an L.

I’m from the Cayman Islands and chicken and roosters are legit everywhere. Enjoy your free alarm clock they usually go for about 2-3 hours sunrise and sunset 😂😊❤
