I've noticed 2 or 3 of my brahma ladies are starting to squat when the humans approach them instead of making a mad dash away. I have 5 total, hatched on March 23. 2 of them have much pinker floppy doos and neck jiggles than the others so I think they are getting ready to lay.. but from what...

Because I want to guard my coop against gopher holes, I am going to bury either hardware cloth or welded wire. Which material should I pick? How deep should I put it so my chickens never injure their cute feathered feet? It will be about 10x10 in size so I will need to attach the material...

I need to make this level. It is off by a few inches. How do I do it in the most simple way?
