Only 10? Keep them in a box for a few weeks in the garage or something. then put them outside in the coop.


No garage and I do not trust the barn my guy.

I was on a medical mission trip to Honduras one time. We were at San Francisco de Ojuera, a tiny village on top of a mountain, sleeping in a schoolhouse there. Our medical clinic was in a second school building, down the street

Right behind the open window of the classroom we were using as a sleeping shelter, was the chicken yard of someone's house. They had a rooster that crowed ALL NIGHT LONG, from dark to first light.

One of the Doctors on our team and I agreed we would pay them $100.00 for the bird and have him for diner the next night if they wouldn't run us out of town for disrespecting their chickens.

I am suspicious, someone said something to them, because the next night the bird was quiet, and remained quiet for the next 6 days until we left town.

guilty as charged. These baby chickens have more fight in them than SCar. One of them just climbed up on top of the water feeder and looked at me when I was getting a glass of water like, you think this enclosure can withstand my rage another night?

Yeah, but rabbits only bring you eggs one day a year on Easter.

Coyotes and chicks go well together. As soon as the chicks are old enough to put outside, they will bond with the yotes and form a super-pack. You may even look out one night and see one if your birds running at the head like Buck in Call of the Wild.


Those chicks are really clever. If you look carefully, you'll see that they've talked the yotes into carrying them in their mouths, so they don't have to walk. Lazy bastards.

If you live in a subdivision your neighbors deserve a cut of the bounty. I guarantee they hear them too.

Be careful of that chicken math it’s a real thing.

10 will leave you 6 or 7 after normal mortality. 1/2 a dozen of “free” eggs a day isn’t bad for a few nights of chirps.

Lol you got beat by a tarp , A TARP, and cried for hours. That's why the baby chickens are keeping you awake because they know you're weak lol.


But good luck with them. I put my coup 50 yards from the house and between the coyotes and my Chow , that lives inside, tearing up my door and curtains to get to the coyotes I now have an empty coup.
