Marty got chickens. Breed is Rhode Island Red. Purchased on April 26, 2017. Think they were about 3 days old when purchased. Wife named them - Gertrude, Helen, Maxamina, and Sofie. If things go as planed? They are females and will lay eggs. I know nothing about raising chickens.
They are living in the kitchen of a vacant apartment. Think that soon they will be old enough to live outside. Want to buy a chicken coop. I can build anything but I have no time. Thinking of a plastic chicken coop? Think plastic play house. Am I thinking stupid? Chickens also need a fenced in pen. Got a place in the backyard on concrete. What should I look for when shopping for a chicken coop?
Took these pictures 2 days ago. Today I modified the feeder. Parmesan cheese jar with bottom cut off is working better. Also put something under it to raise it up so chickens don't fill it with wood chips. Chickens fly up to rim of tub. They jump back into tub. They don't fly out of the tub.
