When you are digging up a new bed like you just did, bring your chickens Feed them grubs, jumping worms, and let them loosen the soil and fertilize the hole. Don't let them free range in your garden without supervision, or proper fencing. They often develop a taste for things they once left alone.
It took me 3 days to build a small coop for 6 golden-laced Wyandotte chickens under a carport. It helps to have electricity going to the coop so they(and you) can have a couple of fans. Padded roosting bars are recommended by our vet. Keep it simple.
Your flock needs to see you daily. Don't set and forget. Build a chicken first-aid kit because one day you will need it: wound spray, peroxide, Epsom salt, bandage wraps, lice/mite treatments. Get them used to washing their feet and vent early on. Do it at least 2x/mos. I waited too long and they are stronger for the fight, and one got bad bumblefoot. They did eventually grow to like the spa day and petting.
Feed fresh food daily that's kept in an air-tight container indoors (a/c & heat. Wash the scratch, strain, and ferment with a little vinegar and water. I keep mine in a second refrigerator, so it lasts longer. Train them to scratch in the garden exactly where you want with the scratch. Ferment some layer crumble and mix with scratch for a treat.
Tried all bedding. and hemp is the best but expensive, so now I use pine bedding (sawdust, also in the run where it's muddy. They love making a dust bath from it. This took me more than a year to figure out. Under the bedding we keep thick rubber mats (puzzle together) because they are easy to remove and clean, and also to lower risk of bumblefoot.
Remember to plant for your flock like more herbs and veggies. Winter squash vines well up the run fence. A grand fig tree in the run is a favorite spot for protection, shade, food, and nap!
Have fun, and good luck

Chicken advice from an experienced chicken owner. We have a large mobile coop built on a hay wagon running gear that can house up to 200 chickens. Not your scale but with more than a decade of serious chicken keeping for a small egg business, we've learned a few things. DO NOT use chicken wire. Chicken wire only keeps chickens in, it won't keep predators out. Use hardware cloth on all windows and runs. Bury hardware cloth around the edges of your run and the base of your coop. Ideally your coop should not sit directly on the ground but be raised up with a ramp for chickens to enter/exit. Consider an automatic coop door opener. Don't put food and water inside the coop but rather out in the run. Moisture is the #1 problem, not cold - keep your coop dry, well-ventilated but eliminate drafts near where birds will roost at night (vents up high. Electric fencing is a must, even in suburban areas. Bears will destroy well-built coops if they want your chickens but a strong jolt of electricity will ward them off. Everything eats chicken so you should build your coop/run with that in mind.
Oh, and you should seriously reconsider letting your husband near any power tools or hoses.

I never had chickens. At my first house I got 2 ducklings- built a duck house, but them in at night and let out in fenced yard during the day. I adored them- I was in my early 20s, so all the clean up (very messy) wasn’t a big deal, but now in my 40s, no way. But here is the reason I have Never had outdoor pets since- a raccoon climbed up onto the roof, entered through the vent and killed the ducks- I found the raccoon sleeping on top of them when I was letting them out one morning. Whatever you do protect them at all cost screen off everything. I felt completely responsible for their death because we had not screened off the vent. Also, I would not recommend a free range. Make a pen with screened in sides and roof. There’s nothing scarier than having chickens or small pets with a large bird flying overhead.
I’m only sharing these things for my experience so that you can plan to keep them safe. If you really wanna do it, just do it. If after a few years, you don’t like it you’ll be able to rehome them.

I LOVE my girls! They each have their own sweet little personalities. Mine like to be held & swung. I held them when they were young to get them use to being handled & held. I started with 3 girls. At times I have had 5, or 6. I used to let them out of the coop in the mornings before I went to work to free range and then put them back in the coop when I got home from work in the evening. However, one day we had a fox attack that killed three of my girls. So, after that, I built a run for the chickens to be all the time except when I was home working in the yard and could watch over them at in the yard. We have 3/4 acre. The backyard is fenced in, important for keeping out stray dogs. My neighbors dog ripped one of my girls to shreds. We nursed her & she survived. She lived to be 11 years old. We also have raccoons & hawks that like chickens. You may want to consider a Chicken Trailer. There is nothing like eating a fresh egg with golden yellow yolks! Yum!

Regarding chickens: Totally worth it, they are a lot of fun! I would recommend researching which breeds you would like, we got chickens this spring and went with Orpingtons and Austrolorps. They are very friendly and docile and cold hardy - but go with what suits you! They will tear up your garden (big plants will be fine, but small things will be torn up unless you net them, and poop everywhere! The coop needs to be sturdy and draft free, recommend an automatic coop door and 2x4s for roosting bars as they are better for their feet. A coop doesn't need to be heated (it's better if you don't bc if your power goes out during a cold snap your chickens won't be able to cope as they aren't acclimated, but it will need good ventilation during the summer and they need to be protected from drafts in the winter. And remember - everything loves to eat chickens so predator proofing for your coop / run is essential.

My husband and I are the fourth generation on our family farm. I'm told that when my grandparents built our house 70 years ago, my grandma requested a fenced-in yard to keep the chickens out of her garden! We've had chickens for years and years. I don't think you want them having free range in your beautiful garden. They will scratch and dig and you'll end up with spots of bare dirt. We have our chickens in a run. You will want to either make the pen enclosed at the top or you may need to clip the chicken's wings to keep them from flying out. (This is painless for the chickens if you do it correctly) We love having chickens and also the delicious fresh eggs. They are also the perfect compliment to a garden because the chickens will eat all the spoiled produce, weeds, and extra vegetation you clip. It's a win-win! It will be fun to see your chicken adventures!

I really enjoyed watching Northlawn Flower Farm and Gardens's cozy vlog, Planting 'Advertising Cut Flowers, ' Chicken Coop Plans, Cutting Back Peonies & Lilies, Tree Trimming, where she shares her autumn garden choresplanting 100 daffodils near the flower stand as an eye-catching display, cutting back diseased peony foliage and lilies, harvesting hydrangea blooms to dry in the basement, planning for backyard chickens next spring, and helping Nick trim troublesome tree branches off the roof!
While watching, I had an idea for how the thumbnail could highlight that cozy autumn garden maintenance and homestead planning even more strongly, so I put together a redesigned thumbnail for this video. What would be the easiest way for me to send it over for you to take a look

Now this is just me so take it with a grain of salt. we live on a dairy farm with free range chickens. Chickens and gardens don't mix lol. I finally gave up this year and I have one specific garden box that belongs to the chickens for their dirt baths. They are in it tearing up the dirt every day. Otherwise, I was putting down all kinds of things to cover the dirt between my vegetables to deter them. They will dig up your yard to have a dirt bath if they can't find dirt. Don't get roosters because they are loud, chickens can be loud too if they're laying an egg lol if you're in town. The good side. I haven't had to buy eggs in 18 years. If you're having a bad day, go hang with the chickens. It's amazing how calming they can be. How many chickens were you planning on getting

Both of my neighbors in the country here have had chickens, one still does and lets them free range. They occasionally cross the road to my yard and will dig up my garden beds and eat from my low hanging bird feeders they also poop on everything! I’ve watched a hawk pick one up then drop it and my girlfriend who had chickens in town had a weasel dig under her fence and kill her entire flock- was traumatizing to their family. I would fence deep down along your run edges for the predator reasons. They can be great and rewarding but glad your researching all the things’ beforehand. I wouldn’t be deterred, just go into it aware. Will be fun to watch the process- your husband is my hero for tackling the tree trimming-glad no injuries and minimal damage.

Welcome to the world of chickens. I have raised chickens for over 28yrs now. I live in same region as you. First build your coop. Do your reading on chickens and don’t get them from a box store get them from a good breeder and vaccinated them. Learn all the diseases and parasites they can get. Have a plan for when they get ill or sick because they will. Also I have used sand on my coop for years and it is so much easier. It is a learning experience so do your reading and research don’t just jump in feet first. AND YOU DONT NEED A ROOSTER TO HAVE EGGS you don’t know how many times I have told people this I have all hens I do let mine free range only when I home and near by. but you better expect a mess they love to dig and great at it.

I don't have nor ever had chickens. BUT, I got to enjoy them with my neighbors. Best thing you can do is lay down hardware cloth under the run and bury it.
so rats and raccoons can't dig under the fence and get in.
One neighbor didn't do that and we had lots of rats digging under my fence to get into their their run. My next door neighbor was the one that built the chicken tajmahal. Only once dod a ciuple of possums get in and that was because one of the kids forgot to lock the door. We all heard the ruckus and came running. All the chickens were safe, just had to round them up with flash lights.

I always enjoy watching your videos. I look forward to them each week!
I cringed and chuckled when I heard you were going to be welcoming chickens into your beautiful garden yard.
We have had chickens and Gardens for the last almost 10 years.
And even though they have a coop, we allow them to free range once in awhile. I don't know why but they always run towards my Gardens and destroy them every time.
Although we love those chickens. It's hard to have both chickens and Gardens.
It'll be fun watching you on this next leg of your journey.
Always cheering you on from upstate New York!

That back space for the chicken coup and chicken run is enough for up to 5-6 chickens maybe even more. Give them acces to the compost pile and they will be happy. Just make sure to seperate your garden space with a fence otherwise they will make everything a mess in your raised beds. Where I live we don't have predators so I put only a chicken wire fence around my chicken coup. If you have predators especially birds then best have a wire roof so they can be protected. Chickens are very resilient animals, they only need clean water, some grain and place to run. I have 12 and I love them all.

I have chickens, ducks, and turkeys; a few different coops with large paddocks. We don’t free range for two reasons, one is that we have hawks, coyotes, and bobcats, and secondly, the chickens can tear up a beautiful garden in no time at all. Oh, and thirdly, they poop nonstop. It gets everywhere. My biggest regret, and one I hope to correct this coming year, is that we have a netted roof over the paddocks. I wish we had put a solid roof over at least part of each paddock to help with rain, snow, and intense sun. Stumps and branches, or bars, in the paddock are also nice.

Your hubby is a guy after my own heart; I’ve lost count of the tree limbs I’ve cut while standing on my garage or shed, but that was many years ago. I’m now 72 y/o, a woman, and I swore off climbing ladders a couple years ago but broke that promise to myself when I couldn’t find anyone to cut the limbs off my 40 y/o Norway Spruce that were laying on my roof providing a squirrel highway. I did not think to wear eye protection but I do wear glasses so they protect my eyes to some degree. Obviously, I survived but I sincerely hope that was my very last trip up a ladder!

I had chickens in my mid to late 20s. We ended up getting rats from it so make sure you make a plan for pests. We now have a house next to a horse barn, super beautiful to go on my deck and see a field of horses grazing, but they also have rats ( they are just contained to the barn area, and there is another farm down below, so I don't even dare get chickens or goats because I don't want them over here. I live in Maine and there is nothing but farms around me. I am happy just buying eggs from my neighbors, but my biggest piece if advice is to research pest control.

You're going to love raising chickens! You'll want more and more. My best advise is. treat them like birds, not pets. Do not give adult chickens heat or light in the winter. You want them to be strong and naturally live according to the seasons. Be sure to have plenty of ventilation in the coop. The Lord gave birds a downy layer against their skin and waterproof feathers to keep them dry and warm through all seasons. Let birds be birds. A clean, well ventilated coop, clean water and good food makes for happy, healthy, fun chickens. Matthew 6: 26 Enjoy!

With Chickens, whatever you put them, they are big scratchers. They'll dig and scratch at the ground to find bugs. They'll even jump in your planters and do the same thing. We raised chickens for years as our daughter showed them at 4h. Also remember things like skunks, raccoons will eat them. Once they know they're there, they'll keep coming to get another snack. So your run area will need to be pretty well protected. Eggs are great and certain varieties of chickens are more pet friendly. Buy from a grower, rather than a mill if possible.

Ive had 3 generations of chickens in groups of 5, 18, and 10. I wouldn't reccomend them in your space. And if you feel you must, get no more than two or three. You cannot free range on your property, they will destroy everything in an afternoon. The smell is powerful if you don't keep your coop and run filled with grass clippings and clean once a day. If you hand rear chicks they can become very dependent on you and loud. Get quail instead. They require less space, they are quiet, and they smell less horrible.

Our 1st chicken adventure became overwhelming. My husband had just lost his father and it just got out of hand with 33 of them. we ended up donating them to
a little homeschool farm. We started with 6 this time, but we only have 2 left. We have a lot of predators in Northern Michigan. handsome as often as you can. When they are in the brooder and small so that they will be easier to catch and control later. Don't get a rooster. They are an absolute pain in the ass and makes the hens broody.
