Chicken Coops for Sale in San Diego CA: Commonly Asked Questions
What breed of chickens are best suited for backyard environments?
There are many chicken breeds you might want to add to your flock. Some popular ones include Rhode Island Reds, Silkies, Sussex, Orpingtons, Brahmas, and more. Check out our blog on the Friendliest Chicken Breeds for more information on which breeds might suit you best.
How do I protect my chickens from predators?
Many chicken farmers make mistakes in keeping their chickens safe from predators. One big mistake is building coops that aren’t tough enough, especially in areas where predators are common.
In California, predators like raccoons, coyotes, foxes, weasels, and even pet dogs can easily get into coops made with flimsy wire and weak wood. If you know there are predators nearby, don’t use chicken wire. Instead, choose stronger materials for your coop. Also, make sure your coop doors have sturdy latches, and seal your windows properly to keep predators out.
What should I feed my chickens, and how much?
Besides their usual layer feed, chickens can also enjoy some nutritious green choices such as lettuce, kale, and turnip greens. They might also like treats like watermelon, strawberries, and blueberries, but be careful not to give them too much. On average, a laying hen eats about a quarter pound of feed daily, which comes to about a pound and a half per week. However, this amount can vary depending on the size or breed of your chickens.
