    info on fences, coops, getting new chicks introduced, and more!

    Hi! I don't know if I'm supposed to post a question, but I'm telling you info. First thing: the fence and coop. Chickens should be in a coop with 2-3 feet of room for each chicken (at least). The coop should provide a safe place to sleep, a place to lay, and a feeder and a water bowl. the coop...
