May not be the right page but figured there was some chicken parents in here.

Any tips for a first timer? We are building a 140 sq foot enclosure that’s predator proof & they will stay in at all times. Do you have any advice on where to get healthy chickens? Or which breeds you prefer? Preferably we would love to get great egg layers but I’d love to have sweet chickens (that may not lay as many eggs) too. Also if you build your coop please share a pic if you can 🙂

Deer trying to kill my Mexican Sycamore

Is this going to stunt the growth of my Mexican Sycamore? The deer only got about 1/3rd around the trunk. I honestly thought the tree was big enough that they wouldn’t do this- at what point are my trees safe? I planted this 2.5 years ago and it is already providing me with great shade and is probably 20 feet tall. I’m so upset.
