Just casually came across this. We are getting chickens next week. Never had them before. So anything I should know going in ?

    That’s fantastic advice. Hadn’t thought about illness. Will need to look into that. Also do birds not lay when it’s dark ? I can string up some solar lights. Similar on brightness to fairy lights. Will need to check on water. We have troughs for cattle so can probably rig something for them. Depending on how intelligent they are. We have running water but don’t want them floating away. The less amount of fencing the better.

    Previously my partner had them free roaming so I’m hoping to have them similar. Plenty of water around the property.
