Just picked up 14 chicks from a livestock sale :) 2 buff orpington 2 rhode island red 4 blue wheaten ameraucana 1 barred rock and 1 black copper maran 2 chanteclers 1 serama and 1 black silkie :love:love
So I'm planning on making a 7ft high fence for my chickens and I will be running hardware cloth from the ground to 2-4ft in the air could I use deer fencing as the top part? would it keep foxes and raccoons out?
also would it keep chickens in?
My birds have been escaping the 4ft high fence we built
Aww congrats they are a beautiful breed I wish someones had them near me But for now I suppose Svart honas will do Even then I dont get any till next year at least
They used to run a puppy mill and have terrible birds *
*Not speaking from personal experience just from what I have heard from other people who bought from them
You can't make a hen go broody and yes roosters will mate any hen they get the chance to. That doesn't mean they will fertilize the eggs because a smaller rooster would have a harder time to fertilize a bigger hens egg
It depends on where you are trying to import from
I know that to get hatching eggs from the states it requires the breeder you are getting them from to have a NIP certification as well as the whole flock have been tested by a vet in the last 6 months
Check under the import laws
