Keeping Chickens Newsletter

Jump To Page

We've used chain link for the run, lined with chicken wire and I have wired over the vents. The neighbor dogs are the biggest threat and greatest help. They chase anything that comes in my yard, but the retriever spends a good part of his day trying to figure out how to get in there.

Our coop is nearly complete. We have perches in place and our girls like to roost at night, which has kept them dry for this very wet Spring we have been having. It has finally dried out enough to seal the leaking seams. Now there is just a bit of painting left to do.

Every evening you will find us coop-side, mommy with a glass of wine, watching the chicken antics. We really are enjoying keeping chickens, and we don't even have eggs yet!

Looking forward to the next newsletter!
