    Attaching run to coop ideas please!

    Yup...Chunnel is the way to go. When I get mine done (HOPEFULLY next week) I'll post photos of it AND the 8x10 shed we converted to a coop.

    Introducing Newbies

    Greetings all! It's been an eventful year. One of original girls had some kind of over dose of calcium that caused problems near her ovary and pooping. We got her into the vet just in time. To the tune of $500. 2 wks later, she'd been killed by a racoon. Her buddy, a broody Barnevelder called...

    Question for Easter Egger Owners

    Now, I DO have another question regarding introduction and the flocks re-shuffling of the pecking order. We started with 4 hens. One got killed by a racoon this winter. Her friend, Rosie the Barnevelder has been marginalized since then. Belle (who died) was the chick we got with her and she was...

We're expecting our 1st Easter Egger in a couple of weeks, We have a Dominque, Barnevelder and Novogen and will be getting another Dominque & Novagen along with a Wellsummer.

    kit options for chicken run?

    We have the exact same coop/run (in the process of painting it) I'm STILL trying to figure out if I can duck into the door through the kennel. We also got an extended run (3'x8'x4') but have to figure out how to attach it to the Farmhouse Coop. We're thinking of doing a PVC/Wire portable run...

    Resort Run Addition to Farmhouse Coop

    I'm wondering if anyone has bought a coop and Resort Run (separately) and know what modifications are needed to attach it to the run for the coop. We bought a Farmhouse Coop from Urban Northern Coops https://www.urbannorthern.com/products/the-farmhouse-limited We also purchased a "Resort Run"...

    No Chickens due to HUGE Rat infestation

    Reality has slapped us upside the head. Our brand new dishwasher was destroyed by rats that have camped out under our house. We have neighbors with chickens and have come to the conclusion that it's not in our best interest to continue planning for chickens. It's sad. Several times this...

    Looking for opinions on these runs

    We're considering this type of run, with a large Over EZ coop placed inside. Mainly for the cost. We're in the Portland Oregon area and preds would be from the sky. We do have rats in the area but we're working on that, also, since neighbors have filled in their pond, no possums or raccoons. We...

    Greetings. I'm drooling over your coop and would like to convert our patio/pergola to a coop/run. It's 12'x8'9" so it should be adequate for 4 feathered fannies. Don't think we can spring for cedar though ;) I LOVE the ventilation, too! I'm curious about the inverted ramp. Is that to keep the...
