We had a problem with a possum once, that was it. So I guess we didn’t have a predator problem. I once saw a gigantic rat in the coop. I happened to have a garden “turning fork” in my hand and impaled it instantly, before I had a chance to freak! LOL
Thank you for the paint compliment. It is very much my personality, but you can’t paint your house like that but you can a chicken coop! :-)

You don’t get much meat off a layer hen.There's enough.
We raised laying hens and a rooster or two until I was into my 20s.
Normally we ate the extra rooster but once in a while, especially when the hen got too old to lay anymore, we had hen.

You don’t get much meat off a layer hen. Okay for soup, mostly...right?

Yes...
I intended to make soup out of one of our layers once...she hacked me off because she kept attacking my younger son. Never hack off a carnivore, you know? Heh heh...
Anyway, I put her in a small cage to prepare her for her fate...just gave her water for about 12 hours (over night). However, my older son didn’t want me to do it so I relented and let her out.
Well, the cage experience must’ve made a believer out of her, because she never attacked my kid again!

When I was a kid we kept chickens, not as pets, but for the eggs and we always raised, through use of an incubator, about 300 chickens a year for food. Raise ‘em up to a certain age and then kill ‘em put them in the freezer. Fried chicken all the time!:) Eggs were good too.
