Chicken Coops for Sale in Los Angeles CA: Commonly Asked Questions

Take a look at our blog on the Friendliest Chicken Breeds for more details on which breeds might be the best fit for you.
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, particularly in areas where predators are abundant.
In California, predators such as raccoons, coyotes, foxes, weasels, and even domestic dogs can easily penetrate coops constructed with weak wire and flimsy wood. If you’re aware of predators in your area, avoid using chicken wire. Instead, opt for sturdier materials for your coop. Additionally, ensure that your coop doors have strong latches, and properly seal your windows to keep predators out.
What should I feed my chickens, and how much?
In addition to their regular layer feed, chickens can also benefit from nutritious greens like lettuce, kale, and turnip greens. They may also enjoy treats like watermelon, strawberries, and blueberries, but it’s important not to overdo it. On average, a laying hen consumes about a quarter pound of feed daily, totaling around a pound and a half per week. However, this quantity can vary depending on the size or breed of your chickens.
