We have made a great coop out of our homemade unused dog house that my husband and older kids made awhile back. My 8 yo twins and husband have now converted it into a chicken coop. Can't wait to get a couple. When might you have some available. Looking for kid friendly, independent, and fairly quiet. Live in Ventura County and would also like to know what is too hot or cold for our new additions to the family. We are ready today for chicks!
What a perfect project for the kids to help with! Are you looking for baby chicks just hatched or older chicks ready to go outside into your new coop? I would say, Orpingtons, Australorps, Plymouth Rocks, Golden Sexlinks, New Hampshires would be great breeds for friendliness, quiet, kid-friendly and would handle Ventura temps with a breeze!
