They got big this week, even with the freeze in Denver. Every chicken thrived, I wrapped the little chicken hut in a moving blanket, wrapped again with a tarp, and put a little lean-to of a tarp over the food and water for the two day storm.
They are getting too big for the medium pet carrier, in about a week I will have to put them in the regular coop.
Oh hey, how far away from your bedroom window are your chickens? Do you just learn to tune out the constant noise like someone who lives near a train or something? Even our hens are too damn loud
I live on the outskirts of Phoenix, AZ in a rural type setting. I'm on 1.5 acres, so a large lot, and my chickens are probably 150-200 feet from my house and I don't hear them.
