[QUOTE="Allen, post: 259487, member: 389"] jdinny A good website your wife will enjoy is: [FONT=Verdana,Arial,Tahoma,Calibri,Geneva,sans-serif]https://www.backyardchickens.com/ Lots of decent reads on there and links to supplies. Shockingly, TSC and Runnings are pretty basic with regards to raising fowl. One thing you may be interested in is the installation of an automatic door for your chickens. I have one (damn birds broke it eventually) but the premise of it is that it's battery operated and it will open the door at sunrise and close it at dusk, or you can put it on a timer. The chickens will want to come home to roost every night in their coop, so it's actually pretty slick in keeping predators which hunt at night (fox, weasels, skunks, all are more active at night) away from your birds if you were planning on letting them free range. If you're in the Bis area and want to see my setup, just let me know. While I'm getting tired of having chickens, the setup I have works pretty well. I really only have to feed/water them about every 4 days. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
