- It finally happened! I got chickens and I'm so excited!! :) Come along with me today as we put together a chicken coop we took a gamble on at Ollie's Bargain Outlet and get our ladies settled in before it starts to get really cold out.
Thanks so much for watching!
I found it to be too small, my broody mama can’t fit through the entrance to the nesting box, my baby chicks love it, it’s okay for starting babies.
Oh, thanks for the heads up! I may have to work on a back up plan then for when they’re bigger in a few months. I was already worried about not having enough nesting boxes in there but it’ll definitely be a problem if they can’t fit through the door! Lol
$150.00???? Perhaps turn ot into a Barbie house or something. wont be a total loss. 😊
Great idea 😊
Invest in a tube of caulk and caulk EVERYTHING. Otherwise it is unlikely to last the year. ALSO, raccoons are strong and can break into stuff. Smart to install better locks, and no, moles wont hurt them but rats will. ETA: dogs are sone of the worst predators. They kill for sport. Anchor that to the ground as it looks easy to tip over. Oh and congratulations. You will love having chickens. Plan for losses. They happen. 😥
Thank you! I have a tube of caulk lying around here somewhere. I know what I'll be doing this weekend! I am worried about our hound dog chasing after them but she never gets left alone outside so fingers crossed we won't have any problems. I've heard about so many chicken losses that I feel like I've mentally prepared myself for if/when that happens, but you never really know until it happens to you.
