Chicken Coops for Sale in Bellevue WA: Commonly Asked Questions
What breed of chickens are best suited for backyard environments?
Many chicken breeds could be a nice addition to your flock. A few of the more popular options include the standard Rhode Island Red, Silkies, Sussex, Orpington, Brahmas, and many more. Check out our blog on the Friendliest Chicken Breeds for more information on what breeds you may want to get.
How do I protect my chickens from predators?
First of all, what are some mistakes that chicken farmers make regarding chicken predators? Too many farmers build coops that are not strong and durable, especially in areas with common chicken predators.
Predators in Washington State, like raccoons, coyotes, foxes, bobcats, and even the family dog, may easily compromise a coop built with wire and flimsy pieces of wood. Avoid using chicken wire if you know of chicken predators in your area, use strong doors and latches, and seal your windows properly.
What should I feed my chickens, and how much?
Aside from the standard layer feed or something similar, chickens may enjoy lettuce, kale, and turnip greens for some healthy green options. They also may like watermelon, strawberries, and blueberries, but be sure to give these in moderation. The average laying hen will eat about a quarter pound of feed daily or a pound and a half weekly. This may vary a bit based on how big your chickens are or what breed you have.
