Chicken Care After First 60 Days

  • Chicken Coops - Once feathered out you'll want to move your chickens into a chicken coop! Rule of thumb is about 2-3 square feet per chicken inside the henhouse and 4-5 sq/ft per chicken in an outside run. Keep local predators in mind and make a safe home for your flock!
  • Flooring - Pine shavings work best. You can even try the deep litter method for even less maintenance.
  • Food & water - Most people go with chicken layer feed / pellets. You can even make a homemade chicken feeder / waterer
  • Treats - Vegetables, bread, bugs, chicken scratch (cracked corn, milo, wheat)
