Thank you CFLRanching! /cheers

Booklice? :idunno

So far I can’t trap one under my nail to see if they’re hard or soft but I’ll get one soon. They move fast. The first thing I said was termites. Our house has been treated and the coop & run shouldn’t stay wet for long as it gets good wind exposure. At any rate I sure don’t want em eating our...

We’ve got a swarm of little bugs in one of our outdoor chicken boxes. What on earth are these and will they munch on our chickens’ feed? Do we need to get rid of ‘em and with what (Neem)? Pics should attach. From a couple feet away they look like thousands of little red chiggers, up close...

Wow was I close to installing my roost bars. I’m going to have to lower them from where I’d thought but no big. Thanks for your tips! The good news is that windows on the back will be in the fully enclosed run. We’re of a mind to get a couple windows from one of the local big-box hw stores...

Our coop odor thread turned into a ventilation thread, but my pics are getting buried and now I’m fishing for ALL you ventilation experts. See pics below, please! Coop front facing West. No window(s) on the back (but could add). Audie bought the coop from somewhere and they delivered it...

Pictures got buried. (Saysfaa, it wouldn’t let me but thanks ;-)

🤔 Thread is actually more about ventilation. Anyone know how to edit the title?

Lawd a mercy. I ain’t forgot y’all. Pictures still incoming. Life just randomly bites. Thanks for help and patience.

I love that brooder! Oh and I also steal ideas. Hehe.

That was a sorely needed chuckle, DobieLover. I think my jaw unhinged when I saw your ventilation. So yes, I (we) will add more ventilation, no question. This looks like a job more suited for my recip and handheld jigsaw. Tonight I’ll be amateur drafting my ideas to paper and prepping my tools...

Ahh! Yeah, we might be busted here lol. Okay, so: • Location: near to middle of Middle Tennessee • Growing Zone: 7a • Birds: 11 total, ~8 weeks old, 5 Easter Eggers, 4 LavOrp hens, 1 LavOrp Roo • Coop: it’s actually closer to 5’x10’ inside • Ventilation: is on my to-do. I bought a 4”...
