| Chickens don't care about fancy. They need shelter that keeps them out of the wind and the weather. Heat is not necessary, though if it gets really cold where you are they do like a lamp to warm themselves by. Commercial feed around here is $10-12 / 50 lbs. They like some cracked corn, too, that's about $9 / 50 lbs. Put up some woven wire fence so when they go outside they stay in the area where you want them to be. That's about it. Anything else is extras. --Johanna |
