Hi. I have coyate around my house. And I know they come rather close to the yard, or are way in the back. You can hear them howling at night. How would I got upon builing a coop coyatie proof? Are there anyways to deter them?

Hey. I'm making a home made styrofoam incubator and I'm wondering if its okay not to have a fan in it? Also am I going to want to poke holes in the side that can be filled to adjust heat? And lastly can anyone direct me to good instructions to make a simple egg turner? Thanks,

Thanks. I'm thinking I want a coop off the ground, with a run I could walk in and that the run would also go under the coop. I'm thinking I might go with nest boxes on the out side with flap so I can collect them from the outside. How big for about ten hens? Square feet wise?

Nice coops. Would it be better to have a run with a roof on it? I love your quails and there cages. Looks neat... What are quail kept for? lol What kind of window could i add to the coop thats insulated?

Nice coop! I'm northern! Very northern! lol I'm up in Manitoba Canada. We can get up to -50 with wind chill, not always but its been there lol

Thanks. I'm wanting a small to medium sized coop. And I want a large run. Thanks I'll definatly take a look.

Mmmm Okay. What kind of mess? Like a splashy water mess? Cause I am going to use a chick waterer. And then give them seperate time in a pool. Or I could try to seperate brooders? Like seperate by hardware cloth or something? hmmm. If I keep it clean like cleaning multiply times a day could it work?
