We have decided to dedicate ourselves tochicken breeding, fantastic pets in spite of what you might think, but we have some doubts about which ones chicken coops choose to help our feathered friends feel at home without sacrificing safety and animal welfare regulations. Security from what then?
When the foxes are advised, the chicken coop must be closed
Of course, this is a saying to remind everyone to secure the important things when our "predators" agree with each other, but in this case we can take the meaning of these words literally. Aren't our chickens a precious treasure? And foxes aren't the only one predator that they have to fear.
Whether you live in the outskirts or in more isolated places, such as in the hills and in the mountains, there are many animals that our layers are tempted by. In the daytime birds of prey are our main threat, but if we have dedicated one fenced area our feathered friends will be quite simple to add a net and create a sort of ceiling that will allow the animals to enjoy the outdoor space safely. Another threat is dogs that may play with them a little too hard and end up hurting or killing them. In these cases you need a good education to the animal and gods resistant fences with concrete base, reminding us to make them more other than our dog's jumping ability.
At night things get complicated and predators increase. If to discourage nocturnal birds of prey such as owls and owls we can rely on the same methods to prevent attacks by hawks and buzzards, when it comes to four-legged predators we need to do more.
Foxes are the predators of chickens par excellence. Cunning and stubborn, they'll do the hell out of four to fill their stomachs. The best solution is a chicken coop with self-locking door, which protects our hens even if these animals manage to get through the fences. Let us remember to be careful also to small pets like mice and snakes, which are fond of eggs and chicks. A good solution is to choose garden chicken coops get up. Everyone knows that weasels and stone martens are every breeder's nightmare, so let's choose one he has perches away from the ground so that the hens can take refuge there in the unfortunate event that one of these mustelids gets the better of our safety systems. They even exist anti bear chicken coops, useful you live near the repopulation areas.
When it's cold outside ... "beak"
This proverb does not refer to our hens, but without a doubt they do not particularly like the cold. Especially if the climate in our area is humid and harsh, it is good to prepare immediately (remember then that what protects you from the cold also protects you from the heat!). Hygiene, in these cases, becomes even more important: a clean chicken coop in fact, it will prevent our chickens from getting sick. A structure like POLLY CLASSIC Domestic chicken coop with removable drawer is ideal because easy to clean and it already is insulated. If we fear that our animals are still cold we can add some straw or, in extreme cases, an electric heater. In this case, we are careful to avoid a thermal shock when the time comes for their daily scratching: our feathered friends do not do well to find summer temperatures in the house and winter temperatures just outside the door.
Go further! Instead, we decided to expand our own breeding but we still have some doubts about which ones chicken coops choose to help our feathered friends feel comfortable, warm and safe? Let's discover together the proposals of the our site.
