With good reason as they're right next to all the BBQ'sI think your chickens are getting nervous.
I got that coop from Costco, pretty reasonable too. It's rated for six, but it's pretty busy with four. I added a run off to the side for them, that seems to keep them pretty happy (plus I let them out alot) The Road Island Reds are the best. Mine are "sex linked" from Road Island Reds. They're a little smaller and their number one fault is they're have no fear (aka they're friendly) meaning they end up make a meal for a predator if preadators are around.Nice job on your chicken coop. My daughter lives down in the Bay Area and they can have six chickens in theirs. We're thinking about getting some up here. I like the Rhode Island Reds.
Fixed that for you ChuckO.........She says "where's my dad?........Kabob?!!"
There's no need for worry, "the girls" (chickens) are very much familyKim says you had better leave those chickens alone...
