I'm not sure what is wrong. I...

    Building new coop&run, questions about electric fencing.

    My 2x3 welded wire is dipped in a black pvc coating, will that still have the same danger level or will the coating help neutralize that?

    Building new coop&run, questions about electric fencing.

    The welded wire is buried 6-"12" deep around the entire run depending on the slope of the yard. As far as chickens being pulled through the wire....they would all be in the coop at night and during the day I would think they would be smart enough to back away from the fence, or retreat to the...

    Building new coop&run, questions about electric fencing.

    I am building a new run that's attached to my old shed and turning it into a coop. That being said I hear all different kinds of things being used to keep chickens in and predators out. My major threats are stray dogs, opossum, raccoon, and maybe fox. Before I knew what I was doing we had 3...

    Putting eggs in upright questions

    I attached pics of my incubator, how am I suppose put in and keep the eggs upright in my auto turning incubator? Looks as if you have to lay them on their sides.

    Garaging young birds

    As far as crates go, I have an unlimited amount. I have plenty of room to add them together as they get older and need more space. I guess as far as heat goes I am thinking wrong in trying to heat the whole crate instead of only giving them a small space to warm up when they need it. Chickens...
