[struggle]

I have a coop and will make a runbox late winter. If I coop 3-4 pullets, I should turn over a sustainable 3 eggs a day by summer.

Feed them well and give them treats. I spoiled the giblets out of my Chickens
when I had three, and they were very healthy. They laid more eggs than I used
so I would take a few at a time to the good neighbors. Just keep dogs away with a fence,
never had problems with cats. Be sure to buy only ones that have been inoculated
against Marek’s Disease.

Also, squirrels will steal their food while the chickens are out in the yard.
One of my hens would chase them but always to late.
