Finally putting a lid on my 15x20-ish, trapezoid-shaped run! Naturally, I am looking into the cheapest/fastest/most efficient + secure/least hassle method, and being a realist I'm quite willing to compromise on 1 or more facets if that's what it takes. I already bought a 1" square, 25' x 25'...

I've got 7 birds who, once they've flown across my 4' wire fence, will spend days (if you allow them) running back and forth along the fenceline. It was never more than an episodic problem until last week, but now they're spending more time pacing than they are foraging, and are ranging ever...

Our January visitor is becoming a resident: all the neighbors love him, our chickens tolerate him, our rooster is totally subdued (sub-dude?), local cats are simultaneously terrified/fascinated and life in general seems more colorful this Spring! I've already cleared a small dogrun (~20x10')...

I'm currently storing my scratch, goatgrain and layer feed in a row of round rubbermaid garbage cans, but I really hate wasting all the interstitial space that accompanies round bins! They're all tucked in my goats' mini-barn, which come haybale-day becomes oppressively confined. Does anybody...

Last weekend, our family earned the distinction of being chosen by a beautiful young male peacock. He spent about 3 hours pacing along the fenceline before hopping atop the adjacent goat barn, and to my knowledge he's not left the yard since. Despite nighttime temps in the 20s F, his favorite...
