How about coyote/fox or other predator pee. Check the local sporting goods store. How about trying the bitter deer deterrent sprays (kinda like bitter apple dog spray but for deer). I would check garden centers for deer deterrent spray.

We made our own automatic pop door. Lawn mower battery, 2 timers, retractable car antenna, light sheet metal (door), wire, chain (possibly), wood frame/guide. About $70

I would love for some goat! But we live in town and I am already pushing my luck. Someday, I can hope for goats.

Jvls1942, I would love to get that much, but I also dont want to haggle with people And prove why its worth that. All chicken folks totally see value in a solid, well kept coop. Thanks all for confirming my ballpark.

Cluckerfamlily, I would like to charge more, but a quick sale this fall might be nice not having to store it. But again spring chick crazyness might mean a better odds of me selling it.

Thanks Bigzio, that is what I am kinda think to. That coop was our trial coop, built for a few $100 a few yearsago. Decided we really did like being that crazy chicken family. So it was time to up grade.

Hi all, Can I ask a favor, pretty please. I am selling my old coop as we finished the new one and moved the flock over! I am not sure what to price the old one for. As fellow crazy chicken folks & also living in the same state. I am wondering if you could give me a ballpark you might ask for...

I am with you, i havent been able to over winter lavender outside either. Even in my protected warmer bed.

Have u tried rubbing mashed up broadleaf plantain on ur battle wounds? Just chop, twist or smash the leaves to release the juice and rub on welts or put plant bits in bandaid over welt. Boardleaf plantain is a common lawn weed. See pic attach. I pick alot of leaves before it flowers every...

To add to the bee attack list..... spoiler alert...... not attacked but close call. Back story: we are in the process of converting an old 70's pop-up camper (starcraft brand). We started to gut it, found some white/black fuzzy material shredding bees in a bench. They had been a little angry...

I am here too. Checking in once a week! Garden & job been keeping me pretty busy. We are also taming the wild tomato! Aka trying to kill it a little. Before it takes over the world (garden). This week I canned dilly beans, cauliflower with heat(peppers) and without. Past week was plain jane...

It is crazy windy here also. I have a popup greenhouse with our garden seedlings in it. I had to take it all down today and bring it all inside. I am worried it would be blown to the next county. I hope the wind calms down. Our flock was hiding inside today.

I dont know about other parts of the states, but who seen this weekends weather!:weeI am super excited! Might do a big cleaning on our ladies coop too. Its soo dusty! Open some window for fresh air. Cook some salmon or trout on soaked boards on the grill this weekend.

How about pot & pan trivets; Key ring holders too. Both these items are hard to find these days that are also made well. Everyone hunkering in for a cold night? I blocked off 2 large vents (still left 2 other) on the windy side of the coop.

Thanks for your insight. We are giving them a little extra high protein treat daily. Mix it up, cat food, low sodium salmon, venison scraps, cooked eggs. They still look pretty pathetic.

Ugh this cold already! This is our hens first molt & our first time experiencing it. We have 7 (5 molting, 2 pullets). 3 of the 5 are having a hard molt. They are about half naked. Do we need to do anything special with this early cold. We do not heat the coop.

We just returned from a waterfowl hunt up in Manitoba canada. Holy cat's did the tomato plants produce. I am going to be busy for a week with hopefully the last batch if canned tomatoes. Any one got any good canning recipes? I have canned: salsa, pureed tomatoes, pureed tomatoes & balsamic...

Hey all, thanks for sharing your updated. I am interested in bee keep too for both honey & pollinators. I really like learning form your post. I have learned alot so far. Keep posting! We are in the middle of a chicken palace update :lol:. This last year was a chicken trial year (newbie chicken...

Gosh the storm tonight was a real show! The lighting was crazy! We sat outside watching the lighting show till it was right upon us. Hope everyone and there animals handle it well. Hope no serious damage resulted. Hope everyone's flock is handling the extreme heat and humidity ok. Our ladies are...

We have planted the garden once so far and I am about to plant it again. Grrrr it got cold enough to kill the tomatoes & peppers I planted in south central WI. The weather news never called out frost & it was above 38 at night. Our friends by the lake are fine. Grumble....grumble....oh well...
