Couple of questions remain. For background I live in Florida, I’ve broken ground on a 12’x8’ run, have an elevated coop I’ll put inside it.
Questions:
How bad is the smell really? The class guy said essentially keep your neighbors happy because they could always reverse this ordinance. Mine will be at the back of a 50’x215’ lot far away from fronts of homes.
Compost bin: planning on doing a rotating compost bin for feces in corner of property
BSF farm: we have kids and eat a lot of whole meats and proteins, how smelly are BSF farms? I’ve read they’re a better treat than store bought meal worms
How often do you clean out a coop and or run? Run will be grass with some sandy areas for dusting.
Predators: which are RG worst? I live in an urban area in a city, I don’t think we have foxes but tons of stray cats, maybe some dogs. Definitely raccoons and possums
Me and my kids are excited to try raising chickens. We have a lot of stray cats so our area will be fully enclosed and they have to stay inside at all times per my county license’s rules. I don’t love that aspect but the class guy said they’ll be plenty happy.
