We are now going to the simpler method
Materials

plastic plate (floats on top and keeps it reasonably fresh)

The goal of this is for winter storms during a blackout. Something that if I forget about it's fine and only worry about every...
This is my Awesome super Cheap Quarantine blueprint
I have some of the materials on hand (to include large dog crate). I just need tuppaware container, composite lumbar, and pvc sheet. The barrier sheet is removable and allows me to access their food and water and aid against escaping chicken...
I found a outdoor solar/electric water aerator. It would have a 48 hour separate battery back up too. Both are designed for outdoor aquariums
I would use a 5 gallon bucket. Drill holes for chicken nipples. Have the dual aerator system (a back up with a back up) in the 5 gallon bucket and it...
Gosh darn not being rich and famous, I had to make budget modification.
It's a run extension for an ark chicken coop for days I can't let them free range safely. I'm proud of it. It's either 2 1/2 feet or 3 feet high but just not sure yet
It can either be used as a stand alone run or an...
I was working on this till 4 am. It is an extension of a (run 16 sq ft) for bad weather/predator issues/free ranging is an issue. It is for 4 chickens. This would make the total 56 sq ft (10x4+4x4). Though It will probably be 2 ft shorter on the left for the side portion on the drawing. It's...
I hear a common theme to bad feeders and water systems. "I got it at Tractor Supply Company." They are not a bad store but I see a theme. So I am trying to avoid that. I am either looking for simple build items that don't take up much space and/or decent internet item. I have some experience...

It is a 4 ft x 4ft ark tractor coop with open floor (covered with hardware cloth) meant for 3 buff orpington chickens. The coop offer 5 sq feet per bird...
I am not looking for anything too fancy. No show quality. But must have the personality and good layers
I need a juvenile trio approximately 4-5 month
The colors I like are 1. Black, 2. White, 3. Buff
I am willing to pay 20 per bird. I can't pay more due to lack of funds
I am in the...
I am looking for a chicken coop. I got hurt in the military so building the whole thing would not be a good option for me. I just want 3-4 chickens and I have a little coop and a run. I think The run would not be too bad to build but the coop would be a bit much. I'm hoping to do a open coop...
I am new to chickens and I am trying to do my homework on which chicken breed would be right for me.
My flock would only be 3-4 birds and not much room for growth. I would prefer to keep only 1 breed. These birds would be in a backyard coop with run. I need a breed that doesn't make much...
