How do I protect my chickens from predators?
Many chicken farmers often make mistakes when it comes to protecting their chickens from predators. One common error is building coops that aren’t sturdy enough, especially in regions where predators are common.
In areas like Massachusetts, predators such as raccoons, coyotes, foxes, weasels, and even domestic dogs can easily break into coops made with weak wire and flimsy wood. If you know there are predators around, avoid using chicken wire and instead opt for stronger materials for your coop. Make sure your coop’s doors have strong latches, and properly seal the windows to prevent predators from entering.
What should I feed my chickens and how much?
Besides their regular layer feed, chickens can also thrive on nutritious greens like lettuce, kale, and turnip greens. They might also enjoy occasional treats such as watermelon, strawberries, and blueberries, but it’s important not to overdo it.
On average, a laying hen eats about a quarter pound of feed daily, up to roughly one and a half pounds per week. However, this quantity can vary depending on the size or breed of your chickens.
