~Hink-jc Mountain Poultry~

Here are a few pictures of how some of our chickens are housed.  We feel they get the best protection from the elements and predators opposed to how some keepers house their chickens. All coops are closed up tight each and every night. "Housing & runs are the number one priority when considering raising any type of fowl."

 All of our coops are equipped with electric in them and have multiple wall outlets for water heaters to be plugged in etc. They also have fluorescent shop lighting installed in them for those dreary, rainy days - electric timers are used when needed.
