That is great to hear! My birds would be left alone in the run for two 4 hour intervals, Monday through Friday. Good call with the netting too! How long have you had them in a chicken wire run? Was planning on burring some of the wire at least a foot out and down in case of stray dogs.

More about the Banana dog please. My employers were just starting a search for a dog for their son. He's 10yrs old. They own a small farm so dog would have to be good around farm stock and I think they would probably have the dog off leash at farm. At home they were going to install a fenced run.

I had a thought. Call local scrap yards? Maybe they have some used wire..It will be a pain to straighten but perhaps you can get it cheaper. I don't know....the wire costs really surprised us as well.

The wire was a major expense for our new coop. I think for our run we are going to opt for chicken wire. We are going to be wrapping 10ft long pallets. The wood slats are spaced close enough to keep the day time preditors out the wire to keep the chickens in. We will lock them in there coop at...

Yes we were lucky and Zebu just passed away in her favorite spot. She was acting a bit spacey and by the time my And 11yrs of eating rocks would certainly be hard on the teeth.

Really maybe I need to get on face book then : ) I adore them. so slow and covered in algae. I don't mean to creepy ya out That is not my style. So if i was hugging one I promise I wouldn't chase ya with it.

I am so sorry to hear that. I just lost one of my 13 year old cats last night. Hope Ginger pulls through and if not that it happens without pain.

Thanks. It's 10 x 4'. We get an average of 100" of snow in the winter so we felt it was important that they have space indoors if we get snowed in. Which we usually do at some point. No more snow talk though. It is the first day of summer! Everyone enjoy the extra long day light! Totally off...

Sorry the pics are a bit blurry. This is before the hinged shutters. We plan on adding the run in the next couple weeks. And obviously the babies!!!!!

Yes Pics!!!! Just finished our pallet coop! Over 90% reclaimed material. I love reusing stuff.

OMG! I never heard of poop boards. I Love It!!!!! As if I didn't have enough poop to shovel.

Hi everyone! One design that we considered was a more stationary coop with a detachable run/tractor to minimize weight. We considered making multiple exits around a coop that you could attach the run to therefore changing its location around the coop and allowing access to nesting boxes and...

Hi everyone! I love the little coop and the garden...obviously so do your chickens. My husband and I just put our six Ancona in there pallet coop last night. There home is not as chic but they seem to like it. All the open areas where light is coming in is wired and have hinged flaps that act...

I miss goats so much.

Hey this may be a bit late. But We just finished our pallet coop. We had access to some nice ones. Two 10 x 4 for the walls. 3 4x4's for the floor (covered with 2inch thick "scrap" wood from a fence) and 6 more 4x4's joined for the roof. It is peaked but not centered. We then covered the roof...

It looks a lot higher than it is. That face is about 120 feet. But all the talk about PFDs had me wagging my finger at myself. NO Helmets! What in the world! 120 is high with no brain bucket. Tisk Tisk on me. LOL I probably had one of them on my head while I took the picture from the ground.

Oh please post a picture when your Marans lay! I almost ordered some this spring but opted for Arcona.

They are too cute.
