You could get a PSI reducer like for drip systems... just goes in line at your faucet.

OK, so I am going to build a run onto my coop.. going to about 4' front to back, probably 6' high and as far as it is to my lemon tree. hardware cloth comes in 4' height... biggest I have found anyway... so do most people make their run and do "frames" every four feet, running the 4' width...

yeah it is all screwed together... no, no snow here... we will see what happens not an issue for 4 or 5 months..!

thats my one regret as I look at it...not making the roof wider on the sides... it overhangs a bit... but not a lot... by the time I noticed... too late!

hey thanks! yeah... I think trying to forecast everything can just lead to spinning heads... I might just make some "fowl weather panels to have over the vents in the bad weather.

caveman... THANKS! I am gonna have it on at night the first few days I think just for adjustment purposes... What about those vents? Too big? I worry that in any wind, it will just whip through.. BUT the floor is like 4' below them, and roost like 3 below the vents... I thought in our...

bump... anyone else? Im gonna start with a floor hatch until the run is done, then go to a wall door....

so for 6... you have 1 nest box, and that one roost? Maybe I am overthinking...!!! I was thinking a longer roost and like 3 boxes for 5...

2 chickies in that one...? so one long roost along the back... I am edging towards that, as it will give me 1' ish per bird... be easy for poo boards...

ok. 5 chicks... they are outgrowing their brooder, and temps are mild here... so they need to go out. I am building a 6' wide 4' front to back coop. 3' off the ground for under coop run/feeder space. Run will be expanded this summer as they grow, and I finish a project clearing some...
