    Racoons will tear right through that chicken wire in seconds. Chicken wire is meant to keep chickens in their area “NOT KEEP PREDATORS OUT”

    I live in Dallas too. Do you think chickens keep themselves pretty warm in the North Texas winter? How much ventilation do you usually leave out open in your coop during the winter? If the chickens do well in the winter in Dallas, then I might not buy a heating element at all.

    I’ve read that it’s best to age it a little before it goes in the compost pile.

  7. Adam Savage says:

    Raccoons, and hawks mostly. I have seen coyotes in the area, but I don’t think they go in the neighborhoods too much.

    Believe it or not I had a garden and added three australorp chickens and had a good time with it. I sold like a dozen coops because you can’t find them in stores so there has been a big demand. You can make a little cash on these coop projects. Almost everyone who got birds and a coop from us had a very positive experience.
