Chicken Coops for Sale in Worcester MA: Commonly Asked Questions
What breed of chickens are best suited for backyard environments?

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 strong enough, especially in regions where predators are prevalent.
In areas like Massachusetts, predators such as raccoons, coyotes, foxes, weasels, and even domestic dogs can easily penetrate coops made with weak wire and flimsy wood. If you’re aware of predators in your area, avoid using chicken wire and instead opt for stronger materials for your coop. Ensure your coop’s doors have sturdy latches, and properly seal the 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 eating nutritious greens like lettuce, kale, and turnip greens. They may also enjoy occasional treats such as 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 roughly one and a half pounds per week. However, this amount can vary depending on the size or breed of your chickens.
