    Super cute, congrats on the new farm and new babies! Chickens are awesome pets and it's nice to have fresh eggs every morning :) I used to have a Buff Orpington in a small flock and she was super sweet.

    Just make sure that the coop is entry-proof, predators will take any chance they can get to break in and the smallest mistake like leaving a door unlatched can result in a wipe out.

    Congrats on the new farm!

    Second on the predator warning. Predators that haven left more or less dismembered bodies at my place: barn rats, feral cats, neighbor dogs, coyote, fox, raccoon, mink, great horned owl, fox snake. Beware of the skunk on the porch after dark! :tears:

    Is it paranoia when they really are out to get your birds?

    I have a recording of chickens clucking and crowing if you'd like it. :D

    Thanks just the same, lol...I don't have to drive far to be near farms here. ;) This is a rural "town". I even pass a herd of longhorns
