    Advice on upgrading our Run

    This gives a good idea to have the pred apon and then have the concrete pavers on top. It can help keep the coop grounded during big windstorms and help prevent in the inside of the girls diggint up the hooks into the ground we have now for wind storms. Def gonna run this by my family and see...

    Hi I'm Lee - Just Here to keep an idea on stuff.

    We did have some roosters but they were not ideal for siring young. We are talking about getting fertile eggs or just getting chicks we know are female. I personally rather do the chick route but that may be hard given the current situation of things.

    Review by 'abbeypatti' in article 'Chicken Treat Chart: The Best Treats for Backyard Chickens'

    Wonderful information and lay out! Book marking this to have a good frame of referance. I also love how some of these are easily explained, and its all simple terms anyone can understand. Personally, I gotta make some shrimp now to see how my girls react, might just gimme a good laugh.

    Advice on upgrading our Run

    Currently we do not have an actual predator apron, we have put wood around the base of the run but it is all loose. and ah okay, thank you for that information, i'll make note for future for when we do that, thats a major big project due to my father in law owning the land.

    Hi I'm Lee - Just Here to keep an idea on stuff.

    We have had our gals for around 3 years, and are all happy and laying good eggs. We do want to get more chicks this year to have us have a sort of genoration thing going, alas with everything we might just wait to give some chickens a good home later in the year.

We even have them know handclaps mean go back to the coop and run, which is important when we hear or spot hawks. I do agree...
