Answer 2

First, you need some good plans. You don't want to just throw something together because it may not keep predators out. Obviously, the details will be in the plans but you will need some kind of wood (lumber, particle board) and chicken wire. You will also need to build nesting boxes inside (but you can use other things like old plastic storage containers or shoeboxes) and a place for the chickens to roost at night. You will also need a feeder and waterer.

Answer 3

a hen house, grains or meal (they eat anything like cereal,nuts,fruit, bread and spuds), a fence around them, troughs of water, places for them to dust bath and scratch and that pretty much it.

Answer 4

well obviously,

you need eggs.

hatching an egg the most important things is keeping warm. when the chicken sits on top of the eggs, it's keeping it warm.

heat is the most important thing

Answer 5

heat lamp, a big enough coop for how many chickens you have, food, water, and room for the chicken to roam around. I think you need a dirt or ash bath, too. You probably need some other things too, but not sure.

Answer 6

1 chick= 1ft of space shelter, chick starter feed, freash water every day, dry hay or cedar chips (hay will get moldy when wet, not good for chickens), plenty of attention.

Answer 7

Plenty of feed which you can get at farm and pet stores, shade, hay lumps to sleep, and water.

That is just the basic needs; there is more you can look up.

Answer 8

Feed meant for chickens, shelter, water, and room to move around.
